| Summary: | Uganda has placed the fight against
corruption high on the development agenda by establishing a
range of anti-corruption institutions and strategies. The
Uganda third National Integrity Survey, released in 2008 by
the Inspectorate of Government, recommended that if Uganda
was to make real progress in tackling corruption nationwide,
individual sectors would need to undertake sector-specific
studies to identify best practice and facilitate scaling-up
of anti-corruption efforts. In that year, the good
governance sub-sector working group, chaired by the Ministry
of Water and Environment, commissioned a water integrity
study to establish how citizens in both rural and urban
areas contractors, private operators, local government
officials and staff from the main water utility experience
integrity in the provision of water services. The study
would also facilitate development of an updated action plan
to address integrity risks. This note describes the key
ingredients to putting in place a nationwide good governance
action plan in Uganda's water sector, the challenges to
be overcome and lessons learned to date. The implications
for practice are discussed from the perspectives of policy
makers, regulators and ombudsmen, development partners,
water service providers and civil society actors. This
provides guidance for the replication of best practice by
stakeholders in other countries and sectors. |
