Performance Report for FY 2009/10 - UWASNET

Performance Report for FY 2009/10
During FY 2009/10. a total of UGX 18.5 billion was in invested by UWASNET and WASH cluster
member, reflecting a decrease of UGX 0.7 billion from last years total investment of UGX 19.2
billion. The was a decrease in investment by WASH Cluster members from UGX 3.2 billion in
FY 2008/9 to UGX 3 billion. The decrease is associated with reduction of total investment in
the WASH cluster following the return of IDPs to their villages. Despite the increase in number
of NGOs reporting there is decrease in the UWASNET investment from UGX 16 billion during
the FY 2008/9 to UGX 15.5 billion during the FY 2009/10. Reasons for the decrease in total
investment by the UWASNET members include the credit crunch and change of donor strategy
from supporting individual NGOs to supporting consortiums of organisations. However it must
also be noted that not all reporting NGOs/CBOs indicated their investments. Gaps in reporting
continue to be a major bottleneck in defining NGO investment into the subsector.
A breakdown of the CSOs investment is reflected in Figure 3.2

Management; 1.7
From Figure 3.2, investment in Water supply was UGX 13.8 billion (74%); Sanitation and hygiene
promotion UGX 2.7 billion (15%); Community management UGX 1.7 billion (9%); IWRM UGX
0.2 billion (1%) and Water for production UGX 0.1 billion (1%) of the total investment. As is
often the case, most of the investment went into water supply sub-sector (often as a result of
high costs associated with construction/rehabilitation of water facilities) with sanitation and
hygiene accounting for only 12% (often associated with software promotion activities). Figure
3.3 reflects difference in investments for the various sub-sectors between FY 2008/9 and
2009/10
