Performance Report for FY 2009/10 responsibilities of committee members and good hygiene and sanitation practices. In addition to the capacity building element, the committees also benefit from sharing experiences between the sites, which makes them realise that they can seek advice from neighbouring committees in case they have a problem. Bringing stakeholders such as the Police, the Sub county, District and Uganda Wildlife Authority together with the committees also solves problems that may arise due to lack of communication. The participants also appreciate the opportunity to visit a different community, get to know their water system, their qualities and experiences. Fontes Foundation has found that the seminars build capacity of committees in an efficient way, as well as being important for their motivation and engagement. 4.11 Contribution to gender promotion Of the Water and Sanitation Committees formed and trained, 5,870 (49%) were male; 6,065 (51%) were female. The data received was silent on the number of women holding key positions. However NGOs recognize the important role women play in the O&M of water source given that it’s the women and children who are charged with the collection of water. As part of their gender promotion, CSOs conduct a number of gender specific activities. These include;training of women groups in income generating activities (VAD, MEMEDU), gender training and sensitization groups (Kyetume CBHC) and training of both men and women as masons (Multi Community Based Initiative, Agency for Community Welfare, FORUD). Targeting gender balance at meetings (Multi Community Based Initiative, VAD, TONGOF, URMUDA, and Katosi Women Development Trust among others). 4.12 Contributing to improving water supply to the urban poor CIDI and its partner organisation KICHWA have facilitated the introduction of the pre-paid water meters in Kisenyi III Parish of Kampala City Council. The pre-paid meter facilitated poor households obtain water at a cheaper rate, buying water at UGX 20 where they used to pay UGX 100 for the same volume of water. The pre-paid meters have proved to be effective for mobile populations since they can move with their tokens and use them to pay for water services in other locations. The pre-paid meter system has eliminated middlemen (water vendors) who sell water above the recommended price and whose source of water is often unknown and further addressed the non payment for water services (see Case Study 4.12) NGOs in the Ugandan Water and Sanitation Sector | 54 Participants inspect the water intake in Kazinga, Rubirizi District during a water seminar ( August 2009)
Case Study 4.12 Pre-paid water meter system in Kisenyi III Parish. Source CIDI Performance Report for FY 2009/10 Over the years, shanties have sprung up in Kampala providing accommodation to more than 60% of the city’s population. However, Government planning and funding has denied them public utilities like water since they are regarded as illegal settlements. As a result, the poor people have ended up being exploited by the middlemen who sell water at 100/= per 20 jerry can compared to the recommended NWSC price of 20/= per which is five times more than what the rich people pay for the same amount of water. Tumulamye peace, aged 25 is a tailor renting a one roomed house on the community hall of Kisenyi III parish, Kampala central division. Kisenyi III parish is just a stone’s throw from the city centre and because of this proximity to the city centre, the parish is a popular destination for the urban communities many of whom are in the informal sector. Before the prepaid meter systems were introduced in Kisenyi III, Peace used to buy water for her household from a nearby standpipe at a price of UGX 100 per jerrican. With the introduction of the pre-paid meter, Peace get five jerrican with the same amount of UGX 100 “I used to bath half a basin but ever since the prepaid water meter was brought here, I have enough water for bathing. The UGX 300 that my husband leaves me with for water is more than enough for the whole family.” says Peace. The prepaid meter system was installed to Kisenyi III as a result of KICHWA intervention, one of CIDI’s partners in the Governance and Transparency Project. KICHWA had invited the Mr. John Bosco Otema, to one of the dialogue meeting that discussed the issue of the high cost of water and were trying to find solutions to the problem. Mr. Otema who is the manager of the Integrated Project of Water Supply and Sanitation Services for the Urban Poor (a project supported by a grant to the Government of Uganda from the World Bank Global Partnership) was concerned by the Kisenyi III community need for cheap and affordable water. He decided to give the community five prepaid meters which were originally planned for Kisenyi II. The communities of Kisenyi III were so happy about this cheap cost technology and in one of their dialogue meetings, they decided to have a peaceful match demonstration to show their appreciating for the five prepaid meters that they had got and requesting for more. As a result of their efforts, they got six more prepaid meter systems. The community is eagerly waiting for the time the project would reach their area.
