WIOLAB Achievements, Best Practices and ChallengesIwl Pcu
The Nairobi Convention is a regional agreement between 10 coastal East African countries aimed at protecting the Western Indian Ocean from land-based pollution. A UNDP/GEF-funded project addressed this issue through various activities between 2005-2010. These included creating a plan to reduce coastal stress, strengthening laws around pollution, and building capacity in the region. The project conducted demonstrations of wastewater management and other technologies, and helped develop national action plans. However, challenges remained around limited capacity and overambitious goals. Continued support is needed to fully implement the Strategic Action Program and Protocol developed under the Nairobi Convention.
Kenya Investment Benefits from the Nile Basin Cooperation_Nov2021.pdfPolycarp Otieno Onyango
Kenya hosted the NELIP conference in August 2018 where 96 projects were prioritized across sectors including irrigation, energy, fisheries, watershed management, water supply and sanitation. NELSAP-CU, in collaboration with the Kenyan government, completed several projects providing benefits to Kenya such as the Angurai water supply scheme serving over 10,000 people, augmentation of the Bomet water supply serving 20,000 people, and rehabilitation of hydro-meteorological networks in the Mara and SMM basins.

Consultations with the Leadership, CSOs and Community in Greater Kampala Metr...Dr. Joshua Zake
This presentation was delivered during the WATER SECURITY ACTION AND INVESTMENT PLAN (WSAIP) for Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area (GKMA) mission multi-stakeholder workshop held on 5th December 2019 at Golf course Hotel in Kampala.
It provides key highlights of the experiences of UWASNET and the ENR-CSO Network in respect to consultations with the Leadership, CSOs and Community in Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area (GKMA) in the development of the Water Security Action and Investment Plan.
The workshop was conducted within the framework of the WSAIP project implemented by the Ministry of Water and Environment in collaboration with Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) and the Uganda Manufacturers Association (UMA) with funding from DFID’s Cities and Infrastructure for Growth Program and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and through coordination of GIZ under the International Water Stewardship Program (GIZ IWaSP).
The workshop provided opportunity for updating participants on the progress in developing the WSAIP. Participants will have the opportunity to validate the process used and interface with the consultant Industrial Economics Incorporated (IEc) who has supported the development of the plan and the WSAIP Tools i.e. the water security planning tool and project investment model.
The three overarching objectives of the WSAIP are:
(a) To build evidence of baseline and continued trends, the benefits of a water secure future, and the benefits of investment and action
(b) To use the evidence to catalyze actions and investments that systematically reduce water security risks and improve resilience
(c) To empower key stakeholders to understand, prioritize and monitor the changing landscape of water security and environmental threats.
WSAIP is a participatory stakeholder empowerment process delivering a multi-stakeholder owned plan to improve Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area’s water security, with the commitment of stakeholders to implement that plan. The plan will be comprised of a series of actions and investments options that improve water security in Greater Kampala that cut across water supply and sanitation services, water resources management, solid waste management, and urban and land-use planning to create an integrated approach to understanding and improving water security.
Over the last 10 months the project has implemented several successful activities with support and participation of various stakeholders from the private sector, government and civil society organizations.
