Project Summary
Programme overview: The Government of Uganda’s second National Development Plan
(NDP-II) (2015-2020) identifies the provision of adequate water supply and improved
sanitation as one of the key priority areas for promoting sustainable wealth creation and
inclusive growth. The objective of the Water Supply and Sanitation Programme II (WSSP II),
aligned to the NDP II, is to contribute to improved health and productivity of the population
through provision of safe water and sanitation services to a target population of 1.43m people
(51.4 % women). The programme to be implemented across the country over four years, will
focus on rural gravity flow schemes and solar mini schemes targeting rural beneficiaries in all
regions; and will also provide urban water systems in small towns under the WSDF-central
region.
Programme Beneficiaries and Impact: The envisaged direct impacts include; reduction in the
average walking distance to the nearest water point; and, reduction in time spent fetching water at
congested water points. The water infrastructure designed for the identified small towns is a
direct response to Uganda’s rate of urbanization currently at 5.74%. Sanitation interventions in
schools, institutions and urban setting and the accompanying faecal sludge plants with desludging
units will have tremendous impacts on the existing challenge of emptying toilets and septic tanks
in schools and informal settlements. The improved access to water and sanitation services will
have positive social and gender payoffs and will enable a more conducive business environment
in the towns and rural growth centres. The programme will also provide employment
opportunities during construction and economically empower women and youths through support
groups and skills development. Catchment and river embankment restoration through tree
planting will be integral aspects of the intervention.
Programme Rationale: The WSSP II, aligned to the NDP-II, will contribute to Uganda’s 2040
vision of having “a transformed Ugandan society from a peasant to a modern and prosperous
country within 30 years.” It addresses the Sector Wide Approach (SWAp) programme of the
water sector JWESSP (2013-2018) whose objective is to support the water and environment
sector to achieve its targets and improve its efficiency through a consistent, harmonised sector
programme that is aligned to government objectives, policies and delivery modalities. The
WSSP-II is anchored on the CSP 2011-2016, which focuses on the two main pillars (i)
Infrastructure development and (ii) Human capacity improvement and skills development for
poverty reduction. This is in line with the Bank’s TYS (2013-2022), which prioritizes water
security as a driver of change in Africa and the need for investments in integrated water
development and management as central to sustainable water, food and energy security for green
and inclusive growth. The intervention in in line with the Banks high 5s with particular emphasis
of improving the quality of life for the African people. It is also consistent with the Bank’s
Integrated Water Resources Management Policy (2000) and Gender Strategy (2014–2018).
Programme Need: Access to potable water and improved sanitation is central in Uganda’s
development agenda owing to its strong links to all MDGs, the NDP II and the SDGs. The
country has made substantial progress in increasing water coverage in 2014 to 64% and sanitation
access to 74.6%. The water coverage, however, appears to be stagnating. The WSSP II has been
identified as one of the programmes under NDP-II that will contribute to the attainment of
Uganda’s national objectives to reach water and sanitation coverage for all, increase access to
quality social services to enable a more conducive business environment in the towns and RGC
and also make a difference in improved enrolment of the girl child.
Bank Value Addition: The Bank’s experience in Uganda’s water sector dates back to 1968. The
Bank is among the largest DPs involved in the sector and the proposed WSSP II is a follow up of
the ongoing WSSP I with similar activities, giving the Bank comparative advantage and rationale
for continued involvement in the Sector. The new support will further strengthen and consolidate
gains achieved from similar previous and on-going support in the sector. The additional
investment by the Bank Group comes timely when the country needs to implement the sector
v
strategies agreed upon in the 2014 joint sector review. The Bank is now deemed to be a partner
of choice in the water sector in Uganda.
Knowledge Management: Knowledge gathered and generated from implementation of the
WSSP-II will be documented for use in improving future interventions financed by the Bank and
partners. A comprehensive program monitoring, aligned to the sector M&E framework will be
the medium for dissemination and sharing of knowledge generated. The WSDF monitoring
will be guided by the Results Based Monitoring Manual with monthly monitoring reports
consolidated into JPF quarterly reports and ultimately into the Annual Sector Performance
Reports to be discussed at the Joint Sector Reviews (JSR) and disseminated to all
stakeholders. The government and development partners will use the generated lessons learnt
to update the next Water Atlas and the sector indicators. This will also be captured in the
Bank’s bi-annual Implementation Performance Results (IPR) report.

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE MANAGEMENT OF THE ADB GROUP
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON A PROPOSED LOAN TO UGANDA FOR THE
WATER SUPPLY AND SANITATION PROGRAMME PHASE II (WSSP II)
Management submits the following Report and Recommendation for a proposed ADF loan of
UA 65.8 million to the Government of Uganda to finance the second phase of the Water
Supply and Sanitation Programme (WSSP-II). The proposed Bank group financing to the
WSSP II is the Bank’s response to a formal request by the GoU to support its efforts aimed at
achieving sustainable provision of safe water and hygienic sanitation facilities within easy
reach to all Ugandans. This programme is also a continuation of Bank’s support to the sector
after the successfully implemented phase one of the WSSP.
I – STRATEGIC THRUST & RATIONALE
1.1 Project linkages with country strategy and objectives
1.1.1 Uganda’s 2040 vision is to have “a transformed Ugandan society from a peasant to a
modern and prosperous Country within 30 years”. The country, in April 2015, concluded the
preparation of its second National Development Plan (NDP-II) for the five years (2015-2020).
The NDP-II builds on the key lessons learnt from NDP-I, and aims to propel Uganda towards a
middle income status of attaining a per capita income of USD 1,033 by 2020 from USD 788 in
2014. The NDP’s strategic focus is ‘Strengthening Uganda’s Competitiveness for Sustainable
Wealth Creation, Inclusive Growth and Employment’. This is through four objectives;
Increasing sustainable production, productivity and value addition in key growth opportunities;
Increasing the stock and quality of strategic infrastructure to accelerate the country’s
competitiveness; enhancing human capital development; and strengthening mechanisms for
quality, effective and efficient service delivery. The NDP II identifies the provision of adequate
water supply and improved sanitation as one of the key priority areas for promoting sustainable
wealth creation and inclusive growth. Besides alignment to the water policy and climate
change policy, the program is anchored in Strategic Sector Investment Plan (2009-2035) whose
objective is to have water and sanitation access coverage for all by 2035 and with 95%
functionality. Furthermore, to address the unequal power relations and the different roles,
capabilities and needs of women, men, girls, boys and other vulnerable groups the program is
aligned to the sector Gender Strategy 2010-2015. The long term impacts of the proposed
operations will not only result in a healthy workforce but also improve opportunities of
meaningful education enrolment for the mothers of the nation.
1.1.2 The Bank’s revised Country Strategy Paper (CSP) for Uganda for 2011-2016, focuses
on two pillars: (i) infrastructure development and (ii) skills and technology development. The
areas of emphasis in the CSP are aligned to the country’s Vision 2040 and the NDP I & II.
Pillar one of the CSP proposes to contribute to the development and rehabilitation of critical
economic and social infrastructure. Water supply and sanitation is among the interventions
identified under the Bank’s Assistance Program for the Extended CSP Period 2014-16.
1.1.3 The proposed programme is in line with the Bank’s Ten Year Strategy (TYS) 2013-22
and the Banks high 5 with particular emphasis on improving the quality of life for the African
people. Component 3 activities have been designed to address inclusiveness and skills
2
enhancement for women and youth. The use of solar power and activities for catchment
restoration too, will promote the transition to green growth. The programme also conforms to
the Bank's Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) Policy emphasising water
development and management based on participatory approaches, and women playing crucial
roles in the provision, management and safeguarding of water.
1.2 Rationale for Bank’s involvement
1.2.1 Access to potable water and improved sanitation has always been central to Uganda’s
development agenda. It has featured strongly in the Poverty Eradication Action Plans (PEAP)
and its successor, the NDP I & II. The country has made substantial progress in increasing
coverage to safe drinking water from 42% in 1991 to 64% in 2014, while access to sanitation
has raised from 51% in 2001 to 74.6% in 2014. There are however still funding limitations for
the water sub-sector to accelerate coverage in the water stressed areas due to high investment
requirements. The sector, during its 2014 annual review, committed to rollout large gravity
flow schemes (GFS) to cover wider water stressed areas, bringing piped water closer to the
rural populations and progressively reduce the common sight of women carrying water on their
heads for long distances from wells. The annual review further committed to work towards
reducing congestion at rural water point sources to minimise the waiting time and improve
service levels. The strategic option to address the challenges, while taking on board climate
change considerations, was to progressively invest in solar powered mini-piped water schemes
on high yielding existing and new boreholes to improve on the service levels and reduce
congestion on overcrowded water supplies. Likewise, the current urban coverage of water
supply and sanitation in Uganda’s Central Region (WSDF-C) remains low and is constrained
by the rapid population growth and increased urbanization (estimated at 5.74%) linked to
proximity to the capital city. The WSDF-C has over 208 towns in 25 districts with water
coverage of about 69%. Limited funding has been highlighted as the major obstacle to
improving service delivery. The situation in some of these small towns has been worsened by
effects of climate change like prolonged droughts, leading to decrease in ground water levels
and lower yields in the production wells. The proposed intervention will address SDG 5, 6, 13
and 15 with activities geared towards gender equality and empowerment; availability of
sustainable water and sanitation; combating climate change and restoration of the ecosystems.
1.2.2 Uganda’s Ministry of Health (MOH) shows that 75% of the country’s disease burden is
preventable through improved hygiene and sanitation, vaccination, and good nutrition.
Strategic interventions through water and sanitation programs are therefore necessary to ensure
a heathy labour force which is key for poverty alleviation in the country.
1.2.3 The Bank has accumulated a wealth of experience in the water sector in the East
African region and Africa as a whole. Its experience in Uganda’s water sector date back to
1968. The Bank is among the largest DPs involved in the sector and the proposed WSSP II is a
follow up of the ongoing WSSP I with similar activities, giving the Bank comparative
advantage and rationale for continued involvement in the Sector. The new support will further
strengthen and consolidate gains achieved from similar previous and on-going support in the
sector. The additional investment by the Bank Group comes timely when the country needs to
implement the sector strategies agreed upon in the 2014 joint sector review (2014 SPR -5.11&
6,2).

Chair (2008/09 and
in 2011/12)
1.3.1. Uganda’s donor coordination mechanism is composed at the highest level by the Local
Development Partner Group (LDPG), which brings together all heads of development agencies
and over 25 diverse macro and thematic sector working groups that meet regularly on a broad
spectrum of national issues. The Bank is an active member of the WSSDPG at sector level
which meets monthly and collaborates with over 10 other agencies including Denmark, WB,
EU, UNICEF, USAID, Austria, France, Water Aid, Germany (KfW, GIZ), IRC and JICA on
sector issues and water and sanitation related projects, within the framework of the JWESSP.
1.3.2. In an effort to harmonize DPs’ intervention, and to strengthen sector ownership, the
Bank has partnered with DPs under the JWESSP of the water and environment sector to
undertake development interventions in a programmatic approach. In this respect the WSSP II
is part of a wider sector programme with other DPs supporting other components, or other
regions of similar components.
1.3.3. The WSSDPG is currently chaired by World Bank and co-chaired by Austria and
Danida. The Bank chaired the WSSDPG during 2008/9 and 2011/12. The DP Group is well
informed about the proposed WSSP II through consultations with Bank Teams at
preparation/appraisal missions.
1.3.4. The DPs are also members of the Water and Environment Sector Working Group
(WESWG) which is the formal decision-making body on all water supply & sanitation and
environment related issues. The working group meets at least four times a year and is

2.2 Technical solution retained and other alternatives explored
2.2.1 The retained technical solutions are based on the experiences in previous and ongoing
interventions and in line with the sector strategies agreed upon during the joint annual sector
review for 2014. The constructions of GFS’ has been practiced by the sector for over two
decades but on a smaller scale owing to financial constraints. The larger inter district GFS’
have been one of the technologies successfully implemented in WSSP I with Bank support and
has demonstrated a clear reduction in walking distance. Solar powered schemes too have been
implemented under WSSPI. The designs conform to international standards and will promote
use of renewable solar energy in line with the Banks ten year strategy. The extensive LGFS
whose water supply is gravitated to the beneficiaries, provides low maintenance solutions with
no requirement for pumping and a reduction in the carbon footprint of the water supply
industry. Interventions for the urban water supply will continue to promote viable and cost
effective options with preference for ground water sources in most of the small town water
supply systems or extension from existing water supply systems with excess capacity. Only
two water systems with no viable ground water option are to use surface water options. The
sanitation infrastructure will also be constructed in accordance with the mandate of the water
sector. Provision of regional faecal sludge facilities with desludging mechanisms are becoming
increasingly important for recycled use of facilities in institutions, public and private place in
view of the increased school enrolment and the urban migration and shall be promoted. VIP
5
latrines have been noted to fill up soon after completion of the programme. Sewerage systems
owing to very high unit costs will not be retained. Based on sanitation survey findings and
house-to-house visits, the programme will continue to support, public water borne toilets in the
Towns for public amenities like markets, and educational institutions while household Eco-san
will feature more under the rural component. CLTS, Sanitation Marketing (SM), Hand
Washing (HW) and Impact Evaluation (IE) and such other promotional mechanisms will be
retained. CLTS has been more successful in the rural component focusing on the community-
based approach like (stopping of open defecation; use of peer pressure; collective action to
assist the poor people and support public facilities). The SM focuses on the household-centered
change. The components will conduct a gender baseline survey to estimate the causal impact of
the CLTS/SM and closely monitor the outcome.

2.3 Project type
2.3.1 The proposed programme (WSSPII) is not a stand-alone operation; it is a public sector
programme aligned to Uganda’s water sector strategic approach outlined in the JWESSP 2013-
2018 under the SWAp framework and is to support 3 out of the 8 JWESSP components. It will
use the existing GoU and DPs’ agreed funding modalities channelling funds through the Joint
Partnership Fund (JPF). The assessments of the overall governance of the water and sanitation
sector and the country’s fiduciary and financial management environment concluded that
country conditions are conducive for the use of national rules and regulations, hence justifying
a programme approach instead of a standalone project. The WSSP II is a continuation of the
programmatic support the Bank has provided to the WSSPI.
2.4 Project cost and financing arrangements
2.4.1 The Bank loan of UA 65.8m for the WSSP II is part of the allocation under ADF 13
requested for by Government to support the water supply and sanitation intervention. The total
cost of the project including government 10 % is estimated at UA 73.11million, net of taxes,
6
comprising UA 42.49 million (58%) in local costs and UA 30.63 million or (42%) of the total
cost in foreign cost. The Government shall provide budget allocation for all applicable taxes in
each financial year in addition to the 10% Government contribution. A summary of project cost
estimates by components, expenditure categories, and schedule are presented in Tables 2.3, 2.4
and 2.5 below, while details are provided in the Technical Annexes B2 of the appraisal report.

2.5 Project’s target area and population
2.5.1 The programme is spread across the country with rural gravity flow schemes and solar
mini schemes targeting beneficiaries in the east, northeast, north, central and western regions.
The allocation is predominantly targeting sub-counties that are considered water stressed. The
7
supported urban WSDF- central has mandate over 473 towns and RGC of which 64 are town
councils in 25 districts covering central, mid-southern, mid-western and western regions. These
extend from river Nile in the east up to the districts of Masindi, Hoima and Kibale on the
western boarder along Lake Albert.73 towns/RGC in the WSDF-C so far have piped water.
The intervention is to target another 25 town water facilities, some of which will be extended
to cover clusters of towns. The programme is contributing to a water and sanitation sector
target of 77% by 2020. The programme is to provide additional access to 1.43 million in the
projected design period and 0.753 million by 2020. The proposed rural interventions are
moving away from the traditional point water source, to delivering the water into villages and
decongested solar powered schemes which will have positive outcomes on reduced walking
distance and utilisation of time earlier spent on collecting water for other income generating
activities as well as improved school enrolment and retention for the girls . The programme
will train artisans (30% women) and empower women and youth groups for possible business
along the water and sanitation value chain and catchment management. Skilled and unskilled
employment will be generated during the construction and the operations of the systems
2.6 Participatory process for project identification, design and
implementation
2.6.1 The formulation and preparation of the programme was very participatory involving
sector staff and detailed sensitisation and consultations of local government leaders, members
of parliament and the targeted beneficiaries. During the preparation and appraisal phases, the
Bank team visited 8 of the 10 proposed GFS sources in the East, North East, Northern and
Western regions of the Country, and a sample of the towns for urban water infrastructure and
held consultative meetings with the senior districts and regional authorities, subcounty
officials, parliamentarians, town councils, water management committees and targeted
beneficiaries on issues of inclusiveness, access and land acquisition. It was noted that the
selection of sites and infrastructure was in agreement with the desires of the beneficiaries who
also pledged full commitment and participation during implementation. Beneficiaries
expressed their preference of piped gravity water to the point water sources and the use of solar
systems to decongest point water sources was welcomed with enthusiasm as this had potential
of transmitting water closer to the communities through multiple taps. At central level the
teams met the senior staff of Ministry Water and Environment; Health; Finance and further
held technical discussions with the directorate of water Resources, the departments for rural
water and sanitation; urban water and sanitation; water and environment liaison. Ideas were
solicited on the relevance and implementation arrangements of the various programme
components, target groups and geographical locations. Efforts were made to ensure gender and
social inclusiveness, women and youth empowerment and sustainability mechanisms in these
consultations. The proposed intervention would continue to use indigenous Public Private
Partnerships (PPP) in the management of the water supply and sanitation services in small
towns however viable new town water systems would be handed over to the national utility
(NWSC) for management. The mission later met and presented the sector preferred
interventions under the Programme to the Development Partners group supporting the water
and environment sector in the country.
8
2.6.2 The Programme’s rural components were anchored in strategies agreed upon by
stakeholders at the 2014 Joint sector review drawn from central and local governments, town
councils, civil society and private sector. The urban interventions preferred where aligned to
the JWESSP 2013-2018 developed with the full participation of all sector stakeholders
including development partners.
2.7 Bank Group experience, lessons reflected in project design
2.7.1 The Bank has accumulated a wealth of experience in the water sector in the East
African region and Africa as a whole. The Bank has been supporting the water sector in
Uganda since 1968 with interventions both in urban and rural water supply and sanitation and
is regarded in the sector as the partner of choice. CPPR reviews have highlighted a number of
lessons, including: (i) absence of feasibility studies and designs at project start-up which were
noted to cause implementation and disbursement delay; (ii) inadequate consultation with
stakeholders resulting in land wrangles, stoppage of works and lack of ownership and (iii)
inadequate M&E system affecting the quality of databases. The EA has ensured that feasibility
studies and most of the designs for the intervention have been carried out prior to programme
approval. Land issues were discussed during the feasibility studies and resources have been
committed by GOU for land acquisition. The sector has also developed a comprehensive
Results Based Monitoring (RBM) Manual to guide WSDF monitoring and M&E experts have
been earmarked under the components. At sector level recent and ongoing interventions
supported by the bank which include the Rural Water and Sanitation Programme and Small
Towns Water Supply and Sanitation Project, which were successfully completed in 2009. The
Water Supply and Sanitation Programme, the Lake Victoria Water and Sanitation program and
the Kampala Sanitation Program too, which have generated best practices and lessons learned.
These include: a) the use of existing institutional arrangements as key in avoiding duplication
and creation of a stronger sense of ownership, institutional memory and sustainability after
project implementation; b) promotion and mainstreaming of gender, environmental and social
safeguards has a positive impact on the outcomes of the operation; c) use of local private
operators to manage and operate the water supply and sanitation facilities was noted to be an
effective way of improving service delivery and job creation; d) delegated procurement and
financial management functions for deconcentrated sector organs provided full-time
engagement on Program activities as is the case with the regional WSDF-C and produced
timely procurement and achievements of targets; e) establishment and sensitisation of
community management structures such as the water and sanitation committees and boards
eases penetration of project staff into the targeted communities; f) applying CLTS in urban
settings has been a challenge. The approach requires a homogenous community setting unlike
the transient populations typical in urban settings. The CLTS approach is best suited for rural
settings; g) emptying of the Ecosan toilets too is a challenge upcountry. h) Sanitation facilities
constructed in phase I were noted to be filling up before the end of the program. Designing of
phase II will therefore include faecal sludge plants and desludging mechanisms and these will
be in all future urban water and sanitation programmes including water borne toilets; i) demand
responsive interventions promote a sense of ownership and commitment from beneficiaries;
and j) for any partnering or co-financing, the Bank should not only take up downstream
infrastructure activities as these were noted to holds back disbursement.
2.7.2 The lessons have been incorporated in the design of the proposed operation which is
also aligned to the broader JWESSP, adopting use of common country systems co-ordinated
with a common objective of improved sustainable water and sanitation provision. The
9
Programme has had extensive consultations and buy in of the beneficiaries and will also
continue to promote locally constituted water users committees with gender balanced
representation in rural areas as well as use of indigenous Public Private Partnerships (PPP) in
the management of the water supply and sanitation services in small towns. The national utility
(NWSC) with a proven record of superior O&M is also to take up management of viable new
town water systems. The Programme will also contribute to the on-going efforts by the sector
to mainstream environmental, social and gender issues through continuous capacity building
and affirmative action.
2.7.3 The introduction of the programme is fully in line with the current policy of the GOU
whose aim is to achieve: (i) harmonized strategy and common approaches for a given sector at
the national level, (ii) a participatory approach to planning and follow-up of activities, (iii)
improvement of cost-effectiveness and sustainability of services provided, and (iv) the
improvement of monitoring, transparency and reporting. This approach will further strengthen
and consolidate gains achieved from previous and active interventions in the sector, whilst
reinforcing the sector from within.
2.8 Key performance indicators
2.8.1 The Results Based Logical Framework (RBLF) has captured indicators for impact,
outcomes and outputs of the program. The WSSP II will be implemented as part of the broader
sector programme using the sector Golden output indicators which are consistent with the
Bank’s Core Sector Indicators (CSI) and these include: access; functionality; per capita
investment cost; sanitation; water quality; water for production; equity; hand-washing;
management structures; gender (no. of women in water and sanitation committees / service
boards), and water resources management compliance. During the implementation of the
programme, the experienced M&E experts assigned by the components will verify and analyse
programme data for the RBLF but also submit it for central amalgamation together with data
from the district, regional and central structures monitoring and evaluating outputs, The pooled
quarterly data will be collected into the central data base for analysis and computation of
outcomes both at national and district level. The outputs and outcomes will feed into the annual
sector performance report to be discussed in the Annual Joint Sector Review for strategic
decisions and sector direction in the forthcoming year. Additional monitoring of physical
infrastructure will be conducted annually during the Joint Technical Reviews with full field
participation of supporting DPs, civil; society and local governments. Value for Money studies
too will be conducted at sector and ministry of Finance level. The sector has mainstreamed
gender and a lot of emphasis is placed on disaggregation of data to capture benefits from the
programmes to gender and youth. Baseline data was collected as part of the feasibility study
and used in the RBLF. The baseline data will be further strengthened and gaps filled including
collection of gender disaggregated data. Various supervision missions and periodic progress
reports will reflect the level of achievement under the indicators and will be captured in the
IPR which will guide managers in decision making.
2.8.2 The impact and outcome indicators include: (i) people with access to safe drinking
water and sanitation services (ii) incidence of diarrhoea morbidity among children under five
(iii) percentage access to safe drinking water (iv) access to improved sanitation at household
(v) access to (and using) hand washing facilities (vi) students with access to (and using) hand
washing facilities (vii) Functionality rate of water supplies systems (viii) water boards with
women in executive positions (ix) Water points with actively functioning water and sanitation
committees.
10
2.8.3 The sector publishes the Uganda Water Atlas every 5 years providing updated baseline
data on water supply, functionality, and distribution as captured in the water atlas up-date
project (WATSUP) database. The previous atlas was completed in 2010 and another is
expected in 2015. The programme will contribute to the 2020 atlas. The M& E expert attached
to WSDF-C will make use of the fully developed MIS system at the facility for data collection
and analysis. The revised ESMF developed and approved by NEMA in August 2015 and the
accruing ESMPs will be used to monitor compliance in mainstreaming environment and
climate change resilience (Tech. Annex B8).
III – PROJECT FEASIBILITY
3.1 Economic Performance
EIRR (base case) 19.63% ENPV (base case) UGX 246.3 billion
3.1.1 The economic analysis assesses the beneficial effects of the proposed interventions and
highlights the broader impacts associated with the program interventions in terms of
employment generation, public health, time savings and the incidence of waterborne and
water-related diseases. The following broad parameters constitute the variables that were used
for the economic viability assessment: (i) averted costs of healthcare; (ii) averted productivity
losses while sick or accessing health care (including welfare gained by women due to less child
illness); (iii) improved earnings due to training and skills upgrading; (iv) travel and waiting
time averted for collecting water for female beneficiaries; and (v) travel and waiting time
averted for access to sanitation for all beneficiaries. Detailed assumptions are contained in
Annex B7.
3.1.2 The Economic Internal Rate of Return (EIRR) at 19.63% is higher that the discount rate
of 10% making the project economically viable.
3.1.3 Sensitivity analysis (reflected in Annex B7) indicates that, both the 20% increase in
capital costs and 20% decline in benefits will not result in the EIRR of the program declining
to below the 10% which is reflective of the significant economic benefits accruing from an
improvement in water supply and sanitation services in the country.
3.2 Environmental and Social impacts
3.2.1 Environment WSSP II was on 14th May 2015 validated by ORQR as Category 2. The ISS compliant ESMF
was approved by the NEMA on 7th August 2015 and the summary thereof approved by ORQR
on 9th November 2015 for disclosure on the AFDB website. The programme will have
significant strategic benefits in reducing the burden on health care services for the people who
can then switch their restricted resources to other developmental aspects of life other than
spending heavily on medical services. The introduction of a complementary health and hygiene
awareness programme targeted at women and children and including components on malaria,
HIV-AIDS, and other Diarrhoeal diseases will considerably enhance the benefits of the
programme. Use of appropriate labour intensive methods for some of the construction
programme (e.g. excavation for pipelines) will present employment opportunities to local
people (including women) and generate direct income benefits to local households. The
programme will contribute to alleviation of poverty and improving the socio-economic and
11
health status of highest concentrations of poor people in Uganda. Negative impacts will among
others include land acquisition, visual intrusion, increased accidents and occupational hazards,
disturbance in socio-economic activities, increased soil erosion & siltation of the aquatic
habitats, ponding, disturbance of floral and faunal communities, increased dust and noise
levels, gaseous emissions, impacts on downstream users and change the lives of water vendors. 3.2.2 Mitigation measures among others shall include careful siting for tanks on hill tops to
minimise visual impact, using public road reserves for pipeline servitudes, locating treatment
works sites in relation to the prevailing wind direction and the location of residential areas,
standardising hand pumps with consideration of the ergonomics for use by women and girls,
and wellhead design that minimises the risk of pollution, explore opportunities for local people,
especially water vendors, raise awareness of the sexual transmitted disease and water related
diseases, Minimise odour from water treatment plants by proper management and use of water
treatment chemicals, develop and implement integrated catchment management programmes
and address the issues of pollution control around water points, livestock watering and
pollution issues of vehicle washing and clothes laundering. By and large implementation of
ESMPs as defined I the ESMFs should provide adequate mitigation measures.
Climate Change
3.2.3 Uganda is a signatory to the UNFCCC which commits her to integrate climate change
in her development planning. Climate change models for Uganda suggest a projected increase
in temperature of 0.7o C to 1.5o C by 2020 and the economy is highly dependent on climate-
sensitive natural resources which are already impacted by adverse effects of climate change
including droughts, floods and landslides. Floods and landslides have been linked to drained
wetlands, deforestation, and compacted soil that no longer have any water-retention capacity.
The National Climate Change Policy (NCCP) and its costed implementation strategy was
approved by the Cabinet on 1st of April, 2015. The Sector has already commenced the
implementation of the policy. The policy framework guiding principles promote community-
based approaches to adaptation. The Bank categorized the programme as Category 3 in terms
of Climate Risk, which means a voluntary consideration of low cost risk management and
adaptation measures is recommended. Component 3 will carry out a number climate change
resilience measures in the catchments of the water sources to be developed. These include:
catchment situation assessments to delineate the catchments and establish baseline conditions;
site-specific water source and catchment protection plans developed and implemented. Planting
appropriate tree species and training women and youth groups in establishment of tree
nurseries. It is hoped the women groups will continue as a business providing tress planting
and catchment restoration and river bank protection. The programme will also address women
and youth skills enhancement for constructing energy saving stoves and production of
briquettes for cooking to reduce on the carbon footprint.
3.2.4 The programme activities will generate climate change benefits through use of solar
driven pumping schemes and gravitated rural piped water schemes hence reducing the carbon
footprint. The ESMF will monitor the progress and also help to ensure that infrastructure is
constructed outside of flood lines and that production boreholes extract water from aquifers
that are resilient to severe drought conditions.
Involuntary resettlement
3.2.5 No involuntary resettlement is expected to take place as a result of the programme.
Sources for the GFS and the related treatment sites are situated high up in uninhabited
mountainous areas and the distribution networks tends to follow established roads and paths for
ease of maintenance
12
Gender
3.2.6 Intensive work has been done in Uganda’s water and sanitation sector to implement
gender mainstreaming approach and strategies, such as the Water Sector Gender Strategy, the
Extension Handbook, and gender sensitive Strategic Investment Plans (SIP15). The sector
launched its 2nd Water and Sanitation Gender Strategy (2010 – 2015) and formulated a Gender
Plan of Action which took into account technical and financial implications. The goal of the
Water Supply and Sanitation Gender Strategy II (WSSGS II) is to empower women, men, and
vulnerable groups through ensuring equity in access and control of resources in the water and
sanitation sector, leading to poverty reduction.
3.2.7 “In Uganda, women and girls are the major water collectors, users and managers in
homes. They are also the major promoters of household and community sanitation activities.
Therefore they bear the impact of inadequate, deficient or inappropriate water and sanitation
services. Men however still dominate the arena of planning and decision making regarding
water and sanitation development and women’s views are often under-represented, implying
that women’s practical and strategic needs are not addressed.”2 Against this background, the
programme will focus on three main areas: (i) ensure the participation of women in planning,
designing, implementation and the operation of the water and sanitation systems, (ii) increase
women’s knowledge on health through hygiene promotion which will have an impact on
families and society in large, (iii) direct contribution to the creation of employment
opportunities. The first two interventions have been working effectively in the sector. The last
intervention would be the value added by this proposed programme.
3.2.8 It was agreed with the Government of Uganda that there is need to look at and examine
the possibility of increased employment among women and youth in the water and sanitation
value chains. Under component 3 ‘Sector Program Support’, skills development for women
and youth is proposed with the aim to create economic opportunities as one of the
programme’s objectives. The focus is on two major activities: (i) skills development of women
in areas, which will contribute to improved health and hygiene, and activities for profit
generation. Groups of women from each project site will be trained in various skills, (ii)
catchment area protection through accelerated tree planting. Cooperative groups will be
established for women and youth to develop nurseries. This will help to initiate business
around tree planting for catchment protection as well as generating income for selected
vulnerable households. The activity will benefit 200 women and youth (targeting those heading
households). Selection criteria and implementation arrangements have been designed and
agreed upon. A total budget of 600,000 UA for this particular intervention is envisaged.
Moreover, additional budget has been allocated to cover other cross-cutting interventions.
(Details in annex B8)
Social
3.2.9 Poverty and disease are interlinked problems in Uganda especially in informal
settlements, which are compounded by poor sanitation, unserved water and inadequate
housing. Water and sanitation related diseases are among the top ten killer diseases in Uganda.3
Rate of urban growth is estimated to be 5.75% per year – creating large rural growth centres
with limited water supplies and sanitation facilities.4 95% of Ugandans use firewood or
2 Water And Sanitation Sub-Sector Gender Strategy (2010-15) 3 “Intestinal worms, diarrhoea and asthma topped the list of the most prevalent diseases in Kampala city between 2006 and 2009. Kampala City Council's health division says these diseases jointly contribute to more than 80 per cent of the disease burden in the city” (By Lirri of the
Monitor Publications, 6 April 2010”, Contemporary Issues And Challenges Related To Water, Health And Environment In Uganda 4 Ibid

charcoal for fuel which translates into a loss of 2.2% of the forest cover every year. This has a
negative impact on water source protection. The poverty level affects people’s sanitation
choices. Accessibility to affordable solutions determines the options for the type of technology,
location, and associate interventions required.
3.2.10 Within this framework, the programme interventions are centred on: accessibility,
which looks at distance to the water sources, increased water outlets to avoid long queues and
providing water along the distribution lines. For sanitation, the focus will be on sanitation in
markets for urban settings and CLTS for rural areas because of its appropriateness. The
programme will provide information on the different sanitation facilities and the costing for
each so that communities can make an informed decision. Regarding public locations,
communities are involved in determining suitable sites for water provision as well as
sanitation. Associate interventions are concentrating on hygiene promotion and knowledge
generation to help communities to reduce health expenditure as well as costs to obtain water by
reducing the need to buy from water vendors. The skills development and creation of business
opportunities focuses on the water and sanitation value chain and the catchment management.
It will help raise income for families headed by female and youth. The activities selected for
business development will reduce the use of firewood for cooking and help protect water
sources in the catchment area.
3.2.11 The ongoing WSSP I is supporting mainstreaming of HIV/AIDS in line with the
MWE’s HIV/AIDS Strategy. The focus has been mainly of awareness raising and information
dissemination. The WSSP II will continue the mainstreaming but will also look into the need to
raise awareness on ‘life style diseases’ which are on the increase. Urbanization, changing of
food habits and less demanding day-to-day activities are part of a shifting life style resulting in
diseases, which can be prevented with the appropriate information and awareness creation.
(Details in annex B8).
IV – IMPLEMENTATION
4.1 Implementation arrangements
4.1.1 The Government of Uganda will be the borrower of the funds. The Executing Agency
(EA) will be the Ministry of Water and Environment, who will be responsible for the overall
coordination, planning, implementation and monitoring of the programme. The implementing
agencies will be the departments for: Rural Water Supply and Sanitation; Urban water and
sewerage; Water and Environment Liaison. The implementation of the programme will be
managed through existing national decision making structures, utilizing national planning,
procurement, budgeting, accounting and reporting systems which will be strengthened. ICB
procurement will follow Bank rules and procedures. The WSSWG will play the overall policy
over sight role including review and approving of annual workplans and quarterly progress
reports and providing strategic guidance to the programme.
4.1.2 Overall reporting and implementation of the ESMP will be the responsibility of the
Sector Program Support Component who will liaise with the other two components to ensure
that the ESMP is done in accordance with NEMA’s Policies and Guidelines. The
Commissioner for the Sector Program Support Component will also be the overall Programme
Coordinator. (Details are provided in annex B3)

4.2 Procurement
4.2.1 Procurement of ICB contracts and Consulting services for the proposed project, financed
by the Bank, would be carried out in accordance with the Bank’s Rules and Procedures: “Rules
and Procedures for Procurement of Goods and Works”, dated May 2008 revised July 2012; and
“Rules and Procedures for the Use of Consultants”, dated May 2008 revised July 2012 as
amended from time to time, using the relevant Bank Standard Bidding Documents, and the
provisions stipulated in the Financing Agreement. For the proposed project, in reference to
Section B.5.1, procurement of NCB contracts would be carried out in accordance with the
National Procurement Procedures using the national Standard Bidding Documents, and the
provisions stipulated in the Financing Agreement (Annex III). The summary of the
procurement arrangements and detailed procurement arrangements are explained in Technical
Annex B 5.
4.2.2 The Ministry of Water and Environment has in its establishment a Procurement and
Disposal Unit headed by a Principal Procurement Officer. The PDU is responsible for
procurement of goods, works and services for the ministry with technical support from the
directorates. The assessment carried out established that the PDU has four procurement officers
and four contract staff who have experience in managing procurement under Bank financed
projects. A Contracts Committee, that approves all stages of the procurement process, is in
place and functional.
4.3 Financial Reporting and Audit
4.3.1 Consistent with the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and the Accra Agenda for
Action, the project will make use of the country’s PFM systems and the Assistant
Commissioner, Finance of the Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) will be responsible
for the Financial Management (FM) of the programme. In line with the Government of Uganda
(GoU) the Permanent Secretary MWE will be the Accounting Officer.
4.3.2 MWE’s FM is led by an Assistant Commissioner who has appointed accountants to
manage the day to day financial operations of all donor funded projects guided by the GoU
financial regulations and procedures. The programme will use the Integrated Financial
Management Information System (IFMIS) to capture and report on all its financial transactions
based on the International public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). The Finance
Department has over twenty accountants with some of these staff members assisting the Project
accountants in projects authorization and approval process.
4.3.3 Budgeting for the programme will follow the GoU rules and procedures on budgeting.
The total programme budget will be included in the MWE annual budget and included in the
GoU’s National budget. The Ministry will also be required to submit quarterly financial reports
together with the programme’s progress report to the Bank no later than 45 days after the end
of each quarter. The format of the quarterly reporting will be agreed by negotiations.
To provide oversight and assist in strengthening the Programme’s internal control mechanism,
MWE’s internal audit section will include the programme in its annual audit planning and the
programme’s audit reports will be shared with the Bank as needed.
4.3.4 The results of the assessment indicate that the Financial Management overall risk rating
is Moderate after mitigating measures. In conclusion, the proposed financial management
arrangements put in place meet the Bank’s minimum requirements for project financial
management and therefore adequate to provide, with reasonable assurance, accurate and timely
15
information on the status of the project required by the Bank. (Details are provided in annex
B4).
Audit Reports
4.3.5 The programme will follow the GoU financial year of 1st July to 30th June and its
financial statements which will be prepared within three months of the end of the financial
year, which will be audited by the Office of the Auditor General or his appointee. The audit
terms of reference will be agreed between GoU and the Bank by negotiations. The audit report,
complete with a Management Letter and responses, will be submitted to the Bank within six
months of the end of the financial year. (Details are provided in annex B6)
Disbursement Arrangement
4.3.6 The Bank shall disburse to a Euro Special Account, four annual tranches against
satisfactory fulfilment of and compliance with the pre-agreed conditions in section 5.2. The
existing Joint Partnership Fund UGX account established by the sector shall be adopted as
well. Funds from the Bank will be channelled through the Euro foreign currency collection
account opened at the Bank of Uganda and managed by the MOFPED then transferred upon
MWE’s request to the local currency JPF operations account also opened at BOU. The
Borrower shall designate officials authorized to sign withdrawal applications and provide
originals of their specimen signatures to the Bank. The letter designating signatories shall
clearly state the number and combination of signatories required for withdrawals. Unless
otherwise stated, designation will take effect from the date the Bank receives the letter
designating authorized signatories. If authorized signatories change during the life of the
programme, the borrower shall promptly notify the Bank and provide names and specimen
signatures of the newly designated officials.
The annual tranches by the Bank are outlined in 4.1 below

4.4 Monitoring
4.4.1 The programme’s monitoring will fit into the wider sector monitoring and evaluation
framework. Overall monitoring setup will includes Joint Sector Reviews (JSRs), held twice a
year Technical Reviews in April and Joint Sector Reviews in October. The sector further
conducts VFM technical audits and tracking studies which are deliberated upon in the sub
sector working group meeting. The ministry of finance also conducts independent monitoring
of the sectors and documents findings for engagement with the sectors. At the implementation
level, the comprehensive Results Based Monitoring (RBM) Manual to monitor implementation
and impact of WSDF interventions will be applied. MWE will also ensure that the Rural and
Urban Data base annually capture the access and hydro geological data and related information
16
on all new and rehabilitated facilities under the programme to facilitate assessment of progress
and input in the Banks Implementation Performance Result Report and the next Water Atlas.
4.4.2 The Bank will follow up the implementation of the programme, through active
participation in the periodic technical and sector reviews, regular supervision mission during
programme implementation, and ex-post evaluations. In line with use of country systems,
MWE will compile and submit to the Bank the JPF quarterly progress reports and annual
progress reports that reflects all programme activities for all funding agencies. A midterm
review will be conducted jointly by the MWE and the Bank in Oct 2018. Upon completion of
the programme, MWE will prepare and submit to the Bank a programme completion report
(PCR). The milestones for monitoring are summarized as follows:
Timeframe Milestone Monitoring process / feedback loop

4.5 Governance
4.5.1 Uganda has conducted numerous public financial management (PFM) diagnoses in
close collaboration with its DPs. These include: the 2004 Country Integrated Fiduciary
Assessment (CIFA), the 2008 PEFA self-assessment (PEFA Lite) conducted by the Office of
the Auditor General of Uganda, the 2008 PEFA and PEFA 2012. Overall, the different
diagnoses depict a progressive enhancement of Uganda’s financial management and
accountability systems over the years. The PEFA 2012 review highlights significant progress
in the PFM reform process and re-affirms that fiscal transparency largely remains good. The
fiduciary risks associated with poor budget formulation and budget preparation processes have
been reduced. Similarly, during February 2015, Government enacted a new law, the Public
Finance Management Act (PFMA 2015) expected to improve absorptive capacity of public
expenditure. Commendable strides have been made towards improving the legal and regulatory
environment and implementing the Integrated Financial Management information System
(IFMIS) across the whole of Central Government and few Local Governments. The PFMA
2015 is expected to enhance the PFM framework for managing public finance, accountability
and for improved public service delivery. It aims to strengthen the role oversight institutions in
budget scrutiny. The areas of external scrutiny and auditing have also seen improvements and
more useful and up to date information is now provided in the Report and Opinion of the
Auditor General to Parliament on the Public Accounts of the Republic of Uganda. Since 2008,
the Supreme Audit Institution has also become more independent; including separation from
the main Civil Service and now prepares budgets independently, which are then approved by
parliament.
4.5.2 In spite of the progress in the reforms, fiduciary risks continue to constrain policy
effectiveness in Uganda particularly in terms of the limited FM capacity in some districts, due
in part to the GoU’s rapid decentralization policy. The local governments, in particular new
districts, are challenged with increasing staff vacancy rate. While the Ministry of Local
Government has stepped up recruitment and capacity building, staff retention is low because
once trained, staff tend to move to central government or private sector. Moreover, follow up
17
on audit recommendations (both internal and external) remains weak and the government still
has some way to go before it can implement a realistic multi-year programmatic budgeting.
4.5.3 Uganda has implemented a series of Public Financial Management reforms (PFM)
measures to address issues of financial irregularities extending to all levels of Government in
order to enhance credibility and transparency, major Financial Management and Accountability
Programme (FINMAP) which originally started in 2007 had continued being implemented
under phases II, and phase III which will be implemented effective July 2014 to June 2018 The
FINMAP covers the entire financial management process from planning and budgeting to
oversight by Parliament. Actions to address institutional capacity challenge are also being
implemented, which is leading to a continuous improvement of the fiduciary framework. The
Public Expenditure Management Committee (PEMCOM) has been set up as the forum for
dialogue on PFM issues between Government and Development Partners on all PFM issues.
On the side of the donors, a Public Financial Management Donor Group (PFMDG) has been
set up. To guide PFM activities in Uganda, a new PFM Strategy (2014-2018) was launched in
February 2014. Government has introduced the Treasury Single Account (TSA) since 2014 in
all Central Government Accounts to improve cash management, control, reporting and
transparency. Furthermore, the Public Financial management Act 2015 (PFMA) provides for
the regulation of supplementary expenditure by earmarking 3.5% of budget as contingencies
fund to meet emerging disasters and supplementary expenditure. During 2014 the GoU
launched the www.budget.go.ug budget website for disclosing budget related information to
the public. The 2013 Amended Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority
(PPDA) Act and Regulations is also designed to significantly improve public procurement
efficiency, transparency and accountability by increasing the regulatory power of the PPDA,
making accounting officers personally liable for their actions in the procurement process,
guaranteeing the confidence of the public in the procurement process by establishing the PPDA
Tribunal and providing for whistle blowers.
4.5.4 The Good Governance Working Group (GGWG) was established in the water sector
and tasked to identify and recommend measures to promote and monitor transparency,
accountability and good governance in the water sector. It conducts value for money audits and
GG workshops. The current internal controls at sector level require all payment requests
initiated by contractors to be reviewed and cleared by the implementing departments, the office
of the director, Internal Audit and accounts department before Submission by the Permanent
Secretary to the office of the Accountant General in the ministry of Finance for final review
and clearance for submission to the Bank for payment.
4.5.5 The WSSP II will continue to support the GoU in its effort to reduce fiduciary risks
through adherence to the measures in place.
4.6 Sustainability
4.6.1 The GoU has made substantial reforms in the water and environment sector. The 1999
National Water Policy (NWP) addressed key recommendations of the reforms, promoting an
integrated approach to the sustainable management of the water resources with participation of
all stakeholders, including women and the poor. The policy objective mandates and commits
the water sector to manage and develop the water resources of Uganda in an integrated and
sustainable manner, so as to secure and provide water of adequate quantity and quality for all
social and economic needs of the present and future generations with the full participation of
all stakeholders. It also defines sustainability strategies to ensure that no new installations or
schemes should be established without, establishing ownership of the facility strengthen the
18
system for operation and maintenance, including methods of recovering recurrent cost to
ensure sustainability.” The country will be committed to the programme in line with the
national policy.
4.6.2 The programme will adopt a demand responsive approach, which is well defined in the
guiding implementation manuals used at entry while engaging with beneficiaries to ensure a
sense of ownership and commitment as well as sustainability of the water supply and sanitation
facilities. The proposed institutional arrangement involves a transfer of the water supply
schemes from MWE to Water Authorities (WAs), and the operation of the facilities by Private
Operators (POs) through management contracts. This arrangement, which has been used in
small towns across Uganda, enhances efficiency in the management of the programme’s
facilities and in revenue collection to ensure the sustainability of the facilities.
4.6.3 Revenues from water in each town will be deposited in an escrow account, which will
be operated by both the POs and WAs to cover recurrent expenditures related to water services.
The funds will be ring- fenced to minimize the possibility of diversion of water revenues to
fund other activities. Creation of WAs and the signing of the Performance contract between the
MWE and the newly created WAs and subsequent establishment of management contracts
between WAs and the POs coupled with operationalization of the Umbrella Organizations
(UOs) for operation and maintenance will ensure sustainability of the created facilities. The
sector will also hand over viable town water systems to the national utility (NWSC) for further
expansion and management. The utility uses a standardized tariff for all the water supply
service areas through a cross-subsidy process.
4.6.4 The programme will also provide support to capacity building activities for UOs, WAs
and POs on Operation and Maintenance (O&M) issues to enable them to meet their obligations
under the performance and management contracts and thus enhance the institutional
sustainability of the programme. For the rural water supply, the programme will strengthen and
revitalise the community based maintenance system (CBMS) through improved mobilization,
sensitization and training of community members and pump mechanics, in adherence to the
existing National Framework for Operations and Maintenance of Rural Water Supply.
4.6.5 Critical to the sustainability of the programme’s benefits is the involvement of women
in the planning and management of the facilities.. The programme will adhere to the sector
gender strategy promoting affirmative action for women involvement and will monitor the
gender indicators as outlined in the RBLF.
4.7 Risk management
4.7.1 The project faces the following potential risks as identified in the Result Based Logical
frame with the proposed mitigation measures as summarized below.

4.8 Knowledge building
4.8.1 WSSP II will generate new knowledge owing to its strong intervention in areas that are
addressing a shift in sector thinking like the use of clean solar energy on mini schemes and
extending piped water closer to the rural homes of beneficiaries through GFS and progressively
reducing the undesired sight of rural women carrying water on their heads for long distances.
The programme has also lined up activities on climate change resilience and women and youth
employment and empowerment. Component 3 of the programme will address knowledge
gathering through monitoring reports and analytical studies to capture key lessons from the
implementation and also track the performance against the sector golden indicators.
4.8.2 The WSDF Results Based Monitoring framework sets ground for improved data
collection, processing and dissemination to a wide range of stakeholders on urban water supply
and sanitation. This ensures that all stakeholders at various levels are informed on the progress
of the Programme activities, it contributes to improvement measures and share the lessons
learnt in implementation.
