Uganda - Supplementary Loan to Kampala Sanitation Program (AFKSP)

The present support concerns an ADF loan of UA 19.0 million to the Government of Uganda (GoU) as additional funding to the ongoing Kampala Sanitation Program (KSP) to ensure its competition and achievement of its objective. The KSP is set to address the most pressing sanitation needs for the capital City. It is part of the long-term sanitation development Program for Kampala up to 2033, elaborated in the Kampala Sanitation Master Plan study of 2004. The main expected outputs are a refurbished sewerage system including 53,000 m3/d waste water plants, 400 m3/d feacal sludge treatment plants and sewer network and treatment if the effluent going into the Murchison bay. This program is considered vital to the protection of Kampala’s natural environment but it is experiencing a funding shortfall. The additional financing can therefore lead to completion of the outputs and yield benefits to the country in one year.
