Abstract | Recent feasibility studies have shown that sanitation and hygiene in Kampala City, Uganda, is poorly managed among its population because of outdated water supply systems, indiscriminate waste disposal and poor drainage systems leading to poor living conditions. The key sanitation problems experienced in Kawempe are poor toilet conditions, poor waste disposal practices, flooding, inadequate toilet facilities and unclean water caused by unprotected spring wells. Previous efforts to improve this situation have not yielded positive results. Most projects have not taken into account the consumer’s views and needs and so they have had very little impact. This has increased poor living conditions among the urban poor living in informal settlements such as slums or planned settlements therefore exposing them to situations that put them at risk of unfavorable sanitation conditions and sanitation related diseases. |
