• Conclusions
Lake Victoria and the
Basin
• Lake Victoria and its basin covers an area of 193,000km²
• Average population is over 40 million
• The lake basin is endowed with rich natural resources and
other opportunities which need to be exploited sustainably
• However, challenges are evident and are mainly linked to
a number of interrelated problems such as:
– rapid population growth and poverty
– land degradation and declining agricultural productivity
– Declining water quality and Ill-health
…… which must be addressed concurrently to achieve
sustainable development.

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.

Key Outputs
i. 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 multistakeholder participation and adoption of ISWM
technology for cleaner and safer towns
2. Solid Waste Management

• 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

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 singlesector approaches.
Goal

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.

program in LVB cont…
Key Outputs
i. 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

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…
Objectives
i. 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 Outputs
i. 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
