Summary

The Uganda WASH Coalition organized a WASH advocacy workshop for media and National Community of Women Living with HIV/AIDS (NACWOLA). Objectives of the workshop were to inform and educate journalists and NACWOLA members on the importance of WASH issues for people living with HIV/AIDS and their caregivers, and to engage and encourage the media to advocate and report on WASH. At the close of the workshop, participants identified capacity building as a continuous need, as well as how to maximize the use of media to encourage information flow.

In 2003, the National Sanitation Working Group (NSWG) was set up to coordinate and promote hygiene and sanitation work throughout the country. The NSWG includes government ministries, the National Water and Sewerage Corporation, Kampala City Council, development and bilateral partners and donors, and non-government organizations (NGOs). Most recently NSWG focuses on addressing behaviour change, through effective use of the media and on the disposal of garbage and human excreta in peri-urban areas of Kampala.
