Achievements

  1. WHA directly assisted 6,500 vulnerable people in Gulu to sustainably access clean water. This was achieved by simultaneously rehabilitating contaminated and damaged borehole wells while providing training in sustainable water resource management and environmental hygiene practices to locally-elected water user committees, and providing these committees with ongoing technical support.

  2. WHA conducted the first ever comprehensive effort to GPS map, conduct water quality testing, conduct risk of contamination assessment, and evaluate the governance and management of every single groundwater source in Gulu.

  3. WHA provided data and analytical support to assist Uganda’s National Water & Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) (through NWSC’s implementation partner Fichtner Water & Transport) in prioritization and selection of contaminated and/or nonfunctional water sources in Gulu for rehabilitation and support in operation and maintenance.
