CHALLENGES IN POPULATION, HEALTH, WATER, SANITATION &
WASTE MANAGEMENT
Our dilemma….
Our dilemma….(1)Vibrant population but… - challenged by ill-health
- uncontrolled pop. growth
• Total fertility rate- (4.6-8.6)• MMR- (530-1000/100,000)• U5 mortality – (74-206/1000)• HIV prevalence – ( 3.1-26%)• FP unmet need (25.6-60%)

LVBC is doing something…
i. Lake Victoria Water and Sanitation Programme (LVWATSAN II)
ii. Components of LVEMP II - Cleaner Production, Pollution Control and Waste Management
iii. Population, Health and Environment (PHE) Programme
iv. EAC/AMREF Lake Victoria HIV&AIDS (EALP) Programme
but for us to succeed, we need to do much more….
Suppose we succeed…..(1)
Water- We want to move from this…
to accessible water
Suppose we succeed…..(2)Sanitation- from this… to safe sanitation
Suppose we succeed…..(3)Pop. Health- from this… to controlled healthy populations
Suppose we succeed…..(4)
SWM- from this to…… appropriate solid waste management
For this donors’ conference…
What are LVBC’s aspirations in PH, WATSAN and SWM?
1. Up-Scaling LVWATSAN
Introduction• LVWATSAN Phase I launched in 2004• Aim was to contribute to the achievement of MDGs for water
and sanitation in secondary towns within the LVB• Was successfully implemented in 10 secondary towns in Ke,
Ug and Tz.• LVWATSAN II was conceived after Rwanda and Burundi
joined the EAC • Currently being implemented in 15 towns – 3 focal towns for
each of the five Partner States of the EAC• A gap still exists – there are 200 – 300 secondary towns in
the basin, only 25 have been reached
1. Up-Scaling LVWATSAN cont…
Goal• To contribute to the achievement of MDGs and Sustainable
Development targets in WATSAN and by so doing promote EAC integration.
Objectives• To support pro-poor water and sanitation investments in the
secondary urban centers in the Lake Victoria Region;
• To build institutional and human resource capacities at local and regional levels;
• To facilitate the benefits of upstream water sector reforms to reach the local level in the participating urban centers;
• To reduce the environmental impact of urbanization in the Lake Victoria Basin.
1. Up-Scaling LVWATSAN cont…
Key Outputsi. EAC integration promoted through delivery of
WATSAN infrastructure and services;
ii. Pro-poor WATSAN investments in the secondary urban centers in the Lake Victoria Basin supported;
iii. Institutional and human resource capacities at local and regional levels for the sustainability of improved water and sanitation services enhanced;
• Estimated budget: USD 156,000,000• Duration: Four Years
2. Solid Waste Management
Introduction• The proportion of solid waste generated in urban centres
far higher than the waste collected. • The collection efficiency is low leading to indiscriminate
dumping
Goal • To provide an efficient and sustainable SWM system
through creation of an enabling environment for multi-stakeholder participation and adoption of ISWM technology for cleaner and safer towns
2. Solid Waste Management cont…
Objectives• To strengthen institutional and organizational capacity of
Municipalities and stakeholders on SWM• To promote pro‐poor solid waste management
technologies in the towns in LVB• To promote solid waste compositing and use in local
farming systems in LVB• To promote private sector participation in SWM in the
towns in LVB• To educate and sensitize the public on the importance and
value of SWM
2. Solid Waste Management cont…
Key Outputs• A regional ISWM strategy for LVB developed • Improved waste management standards • Increase in the amount of waste recycled • A well informed public adequately participating in SWM in
the towns• Solid waste infrastructure sustainably managed• Improved health status and livelihood of the local
community
Estimated budget: USD 15 million
Program Duration: 5 Years
3. Population, Health and Environment
Introduction• Island inhabitants constitute a major category of disempowered
communities in the Lake Victoria
• The meagre services available are implemented using vertical approaches hence compromising efficiency
• The proposed PHE project will integrate health and environmental conservation initiatives in order to seek synergistic successes for greater conservation and human welfare outcomes than single-sector approaches.
Goal• To promote integrated population, health, safe water, sanitation
and environmental conservation approaches on the islands of Lake Victoria
3. Population, Health and Environment cont…
Objectives• Facilitate a shared definition and understanding
among stakeholders
• Enhance capacity of communities to sustainabily manage ecosystem resources to improve livelihoods and wellbeing
• Improve reproductive health, maternal, neonatal and child health of island inhabitants
• Promote advocacy and policy interactions for integrated PHE approaches
3. Population, Health and Environment cont…
Key Outputs• A PHE Framework for Cooperation developed around which
state and non-state actors coalesce
• A regional PHE strategic plan for LVBC developed
• Integrated PHE community champions/groups trained and networks established and offering RH/FP and conservation services
• Integrated health and environment policy frameworks harmonized
• Appropriate cost-effective WASH and environmental conservation technologies developed and implemented
Estimated budget: USD 4,050,000
Duration: Three Years
4. Trans-boundary water supply and sanitation program in LVB
Introduction• Enhanced WATSAN management around Lake Victoria
offers one of the incentives for stimulating economic growth and improving the livelihoods and health of communities in the basin.
• A trans-boundary WATSAN Program would fill the gap between the low WATSAN services supplied and the high demand while simultaneously meeting the MDG targets.
Goal• To meet MDG targets in water and sanitation for selected
transboundary towns in the five Partner States and by so doing promote EAC integration
4. Trans-boundary WATSAN program in LVB cont…
Objectives• To support pro-poor water and sanitation investments in
the secondary urban centers in the Lake Victoria Basin;• To build institutional and human resource capacities at
local and regional levels for the sustainability of improved water and sanitation services;
• To facilitate the benefits of upstream water sector reforms to reach the local level in the participating urban centers; and
• To reduce the environmental impact of urbanization in the Lake Victoria Basin and improve watershed and water resources management.
4. Trans-boundary WATSAN program in LVB cont…
Key Outputsi. EAC integration promoted through delivery of water and
sanitation infrastructure and services;
ii. Pro-poor water and sanitation investments in the secondary urban centers in the Lake Victoria Basin supported;
iii. Institutional and human resource capacities at local and regional levels for the sustainability of improved water and sanitation services enhanced;
Estimated budget: USD 62,000,000
Duration: Four years
5. Integrated HIV/Reproductive Health
Introduction• Enhanced population mobility is directly linked to
increased vulnerability to HIV. • RH related conditions and other diseases catalyse the
spread of HIV hence the need for an integrated approach in management of HIV
Goal• To contribute to the reduction in the prevalence of
HIV&AIDS and Reproductive Health (RH) related diseases among mobile populations within the Lake Victoria Basin (LVB).
5. Integrated HIV/Reproductive Health cont…
Objectivesi. To strengthen the management and coordination capacities of
organizations/institutions and networks of mobile populations to respond to HIV&AIDS/RH issues.
ii. To enhance adoption of best practice interventions in integrated HIV&AIDS/RH service delivery
iii. To enhance regional integrated cross-border health service delivery and HIV/AIDS/RH surveillance
iv. To promote gender and rights based mainstreaming activities within the institutions and networks of mobile populations in LVB
v. To enhance information generation, sharing and dissemination on HIV&AIDS and reproductive health issues among mobile populations in LVB.
5. Integrated HIV/Reproductive Health cont…
Key Outputsi. Regional HIV&AIDS/RH coordination structures for mobile
populations established and strengthened.
ii. Integrated cross-border HIV&RH surveillance system established and operational
iii. Integrated one-stop wellness centres at border points and beach landing sites established and offering integrated HIV/RH services
iv.Gender mainstreaming activities implemented in the institutions/organizations of mobile populations
• Estimated cost: USD 8,287,309• Duration: Four Years
Conclusions
• The WATSAN, PH and SWM challenges in LVB are manageable but require concerted effort for effective interventions
• There is need for integration of sectors and approaches to simultaneously address the challenges
• There is need to implement projects/programs that will increase access and harness utilization of the resources in a sustainable manner
• Experience shows that projects/programs so far implemented have improved the quality of life
Conclusions (cont’d)
• The existing infrastructure projects have build confidence of the PS towards achieving stronger integration and hence better sustainability of trans-boundary projects and need for up-scaling;
• The projects have also boosted EAC Regional Cooperation and even beyond to the Nile Region;
• Partner States are Committed to all the mentioned Projects and seek for the support of Development Partners to further strengthen the EAC region and improve the livelihoods of the communities.
We look forward to your new and continued partnerships
