Private sector in water development for sustainability

This paper deals with an approach which was used on a project in three subcounties of Luwero District. In this approach the private sector was reintroduced in the Uganda Water Development Sector. The water sources developed in this project were boreholes sited, drilled and equipped with handpumps. The private sector included a Consultant, a Contractor, Manufacturer/Supplier, Spareparts Dealers, Handpump Mechanics and Caretakers. The Communities through their Water User Committees could to some extent be considered as participating as a private sector.
