Uganda : risk - opportunity mapping study on integrity and accountability in the water supply and sanitation sector : executive summary, august 2009

As part of efforts to support water integrity in the Ugandan water sector, the Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) in partnership with the Secretariat of the Water Integrity Network (WIN), and the Water and Sanitation Program in Uganda (WSP-Uganda)2, are preparing an update of the anti-corruption action plan by MWE to improve transparency and accountability in the water supply and sanitation (WSS) sector. The current report on the corruption risk / opportunity mapping study is one of the key inputs for this action plan. The mapping study is complemented by a countrywide baseline survey on how water consumers and providers experience integrity in the provision of water, covering both rural and urban areas. Such baseline studies are used worldwide and are a useful tool to create awareness among policymakers on citizens’ satisfaction with government services. [authors abstract]
