1. SUMMARY The project under evaluation carries the title « Community Managed Water and Sanitation Improvement in Soroti Catholic Diocese, Uganda ». With a budget of about 400.000 ECU the project is partly financed by the Dutch NGO Bilance and partly by the European Commission. According to the project file, the CMWS-project aims to decrease the water borne diseases in the rural areas of the Soroti and Katakwi districts through the protection of one hundred springs, the construction of eight filter appendages near the lake shore and the construction of fifty modern shallow wells. In order to have a maximum impact on health and to guarantee the sustainability of the facilities and their impact, an important software component was also provided for. It includes the set up and training of water users committees, the training of local technicians, health and sanitation awareness training of the users and promotion of some sanitation facilities on household level. The CMWS project is executed by the development office of the catholic diocese of Soroti, SOCADIDO. This agency, created in 1990 and largely subsidised by the Western catholic NGO’s, especially Bilance, is actually running different programmes, covering sectors as agriculture, women development, health, education and income generating activities. The three-year project has been formulated in May ’95 by an external consultant, after an identification process that lasted nearly three years. During this identification, an experimental project has been executed by the same agency. Nevertheless, the implication of the target communities and of the implementing agency in the actual formulation was limited. Uganda is actually going through an important institutional and economic reform. Since more than eight years, the economy turned in a solid performance with a real growth rate of the GDP of an estimated 5% per annum. Only the last couple of years, this growth can also be observed in the more isolated towns, such as Soroti. On the political level, the situation is quite stable. The recently voted local government act is devolving important functions and powers to the local level. The CMWS project is implemented in two of the three districts belonging to the Soroti catholic diocese. The whole diocese covers nearly 10.000 sq. km. but the project aimed to limit his intervention to some 10 out of the 36 existing subcounties. The project responds to a primary need of the target groups, as well from an objective point of view as in the perception of the target groups. It is estimated that 30% of the rural communities in the target area have never had access to drinking water and had to satisfy themselves with water from unprotected springs or hand-dug wells or even worse with surface water. Others used for their basic domestic needs water from boreholes in neighbouring villages, often several kilometres away, which sometimes led to social tensions. Also because of the political and social unrest of the last years that struck the area, almost half of the existing water facilities were destroyed or neglected. The mobilisation of the target groups concerning this problemacy clearly shows that the project corresponds to an actually felt need. 5
