In 1997, in the Kampala declaration for sanitation, leaders from all of Uganda's districts pledged to improve sanitation. Then in 2001, three ministries, the Ministry of Water, Lands, and Environment; the Ministry of Education and Sports; and the Ministry of Health, signed a memorandum of understanding to clarify institutional responsibilities with respect to sanitation and hygiene and to improve implementation at the district and local levels. The three ministries agreed to put in place institutional arrangements to prioritize resources for excreta-related sanitation and hygiene programs. Although the main focus of this report is on excreta-related sanitation and hygiene, the 2006 joint sector review for water and sanitation also requested clarification of existing mandates for two specific aspects of environmental sanitation, namely solid waste management and drainage and asked whether these two issues should be included in the memorandum. Accordingly, this report also explores the institutional issues linked with municipal solid waste management and urban drainage. Because of limitations of time and scope, it examines these particular issues only in Kampala.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO LATRINESACCESS TO SAFE WATERACCESS TO SANITATIONACCESS TO SEWERAGEACCESS TO WATERAGRICULTURAL EXTENSIONASHBACTERIABASIC HYGIENECHOLERACLEAN WATERCLEANLINESSCOMMERCIALIZATIONCOMMUNITY ACTIONCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITY SANITATIONCOMPOSTINGCONNECTIONCONNECTIONSCONSTRUCTION OF LATRINESDECISION MAKINGDIARRHEADIARRHEAL DISEASEDIARRHEAL DISEASESDRAINDRAINAGE SYSTEMSDRAINSDRINKING WATERDYSENTERYEFFLUENTSENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL SANITATIONEQUALIZATIONEXCRETA DISPOSALFLUSH TOILETSFOOD HYGIENEGARBAGEHANDS WITH SOAPHANDWASHINGHEALTH LEGISLATIONHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH POLICYHEALTH SERVICESHEPATITISHOSPITALSHOUSEHOLD HYGIENEHOUSEHOLD SANITATIONHUMAN EXCRETAHYGIENEHYGIENE ACTIVITIESHYGIENE EDUCATIONHYGIENE ISSUESHYGIENE PRACTICESHYGIENE PROMOTERSHYGIENE PROMOTIONHYGIENIC USEINADEQUATE SANITATIONINFANT MORTALITYINFECTIOUS DISEASESINTESTINAL WORMSISOLATIONLANDFILL GASESLATRINE CONSTRUCTIONLAWSMORBIDITYMORTALITYMUNICIPAL SOLID WASTENATIONAL WATEROXYGENOXYGEN DEMANDPIT LATRINEPIT LATRINESPOLICIES ON SANITATIONPOOR DRAINAGEPOOR HYGIENEPOTABLE WATERPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPRIMARY SCHOOLSPUBLIC FACILITIESPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC LATRINESPUBLIC SANITATIONPUBLIC SANITATION FACILITIESPUBLIC SEWER SYSTEMRAPID URBANIZATIONRAW WATERRECYCLINGSAFE DISPOSALSAFE STOOL DISPOSALSAFE WATERSANITARY CONDITIONSSANITATION ACCESSSANITATION ACTIVITIESSANITATION COORDINATION COMMITTEESANITATION COVERAGESANITATION FACILITIESSANITATION IMPROVEMENTSANITATION INDICATORSSANITATION PROGRAMSANITATION SECTORSANITATION SERVICESSCHISTOSOMIASISSCHOOL LATRINE CONSTRUCTIONSCHOOL SANITATIONSEPTIC TANKSSEWAGESEWAGE DISPOSALSEWAGE TREATMENTSEWAGE TREATMENT PLANTSEWERAGESEWERAGE NETWORKSEWERAGE REGULATIONSSEWERAGE SERVICESSEWERSSOAPSOLID WASTESOLID WASTE COLLECTIONSOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTSUSPENDED SOLIDSTOILETTOILETSTOWN WATERTRADITIONAL LATRINETREATMENT FACILITIESURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSURBAN COMMUNITYURBAN DRAINAGEURBAN WATERURBAN WATER SUPPLYURBAN WATER SUPPLY COVERAGEUSE OF WATERUSER CHARGESVECTOR CONTROLVENEREAL DISEASESVIOLENCEVITAMIN DEFICIENCYWASH HANDS WITH SOAPWASHING HANDSWASTEWASTE DISPOSALWASTESWASTEWATERWASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTUREWASTEWATER TREATMENTWASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIESWASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTSWATER CONSUMPTIONWATER POLLUTIONWATER QUALITYWATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTWATER SOURCEWATER SUPPLYWORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/2882
