Uganda’s achievement of the National Vision 2040 and the Sustainable Development Goals for water heavily relies on embedding sustainable practices in managing the country’s water resources. Already, the Water and Environment sector in Uganda has registered several achievements through a number of multi-sectoral initiatives.
In these efforts, the Government of Uganda together with its bilateral and multilateral partners have supported the development of critical human and infrastructural capacities required to further the implementation of the concept of Catchment based Integrated Water Resources Management (CbIWRM) in Uganda. Several achievements have been registered through the de-concentration process of water resources management.
Therefore, this Catchment based Integrated Water Resources Management (CbIWRM) Strategy 2020 represents an important milestone for the sustainable management of water resources in Uganda, using the catchment as the building block. The Strategy’s five strategic pillars should catalyse investment, resource mobilisation and buy-in by both, local and international stakeholders to guide efficient and effective water resources management in Uganda.
