As UNICEF Uganda is initiating the newly developed country programme for 2026-2030, WASH team is expanding the portfolio into Environment and Climate Action, in alignment with an urgent need and increasing adverse impact of climate change on child-critical social services such as on health, nutrition, WASH, education and protection in Uganda.
Aligned to the purpose of the country programme, a WASH in institutions programme in Karamoja sub-region for 5 years has also been initiated with financial support from the development partner such as KOICA, which includes a strategic transition to a system strengthening approach with upstream support to enhance institutional capacity, policy guidelines and financing framework for long-term sustainability whilst support the expansion of WASH facilities in total of 150 schools and 15 health care facilities in all nine districts in Karamoja subregion.
This requires specialized support to coordinate with the national and sub-national partners to undertake the planned interventions. The technical assistance is to institutionalize national guidance, operational framework and implementation, monitoring and evaluation, particularly during the inception phase.
This assignment is also stretching out to Environment and Climate Action work to ensure coordinated technical support, strategic engagement with key stakeholders and exploring innovations related to climate resilient WASH services, climate education, and renewable energy such as solarization and biogas systems at schools, health care facilities and communities.
