| description |
Over the past 25 years, Uganda has
experienced sustained economic growth, supported by a
prudent macroeconomic framework and propelled by consistent
policy reforms. Annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth
averaged 7.4 percent in the 2000s, compared with 6.5 in the
1990s. Economic growth has enabled substantial poverty
reduction, with the proportion of people living in poverty
more than halving from 56 percent in the 1992 to 23.3
percent in 2009. However, welfare improvements have not been
shared equally; there is increasing urban rural inequality
and inequality between regions. Revitalizing economic growth
and tackling persistent poverty will require addressing a
number of challenges. These include alleviating
infrastructure bottlenecks; increasing agricultural
productivity; managing land, water and other natural
resources; addressing demographic challenges; and
confronting governance issues. The development and
management of water resources is intimately linked to
Uganda's continued development ambitions. Water can be
both a positive force-providing productive input to
agriculture, industry, energy and tourism, and sustaining
human and environmental health-as well as a destructive
one-to which the devastating consequences of floods and
droughts can attest. The National Water Resources Assessment
(NWRA) estimates that Uganda's total renewable water
resources are about 43 million cubic meters (MCM), less than
was estimated in the Ministry of Water and
Environment's (MWE's) Sector Investment Plan (SIP)
in 2009. About 13 percent of this is sustainable groundwater
(5.67 MCM) and the balance is surface water (37.41 MCM).
About one half of all districts in Uganda experience annual
rainfall deficits-the difference between evapotranspiration
and rainfall-ranging from slightly above zero to 400 mm. The
frequency of rainfall anomalies below normal (or long-term
annual average) is significantly greater than the frequency
of rainfall anomalies higher than normal. The Uganda water
Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) aims to assist the
Government of Uganda (GoU) in identifying priority actions
for building on successful outcomes, tackling remaining
challenges, and exploiting opportunities in Uganda's
water sector. The objective of the water CAS is to define
the World Bank's strategic role in supporting GoU to
better manage and develop its water resources. The
recommendations of the water CAS are complementary to the
World Bank Uganda Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) 2011-15
priorities for Uganda and consistent with the country's
development objectives as defined in the National
Development Plan (NDP) and water and related sector plans
and strategies, which form the foundation of the World Bank
Uganda CAS. |
