Kampala, Uganda

Kampala, Uganda's capital on Lake Victoria, faces rapid urbanization and population growth, exacerbating challenges in water infrastructure, sanitation, and flood management. The city relies heavily on Lake Victoria for water supply but struggles with inadequate sewerage and fecal sludge management, particularly in informal settlements. Economic contributions are significant, yet financing gaps hinder water sector development. Governance is decentralized, governed by national and subnational bodies managing water resources under legislative frameworks. Technical issues include insufficient water production capacity and monitoring constraints. Socially, access to clean water is a pressing concern, especially in informal settlements, despite collaborative efforts to improve infrastructure and mitigate flood risks.
