The Uganda Sanitation Fund (USF) is one of the largest sanitation programmes in the country, which is based on the National Improved Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion Strategy and embedded in Uganda’s decentralized system of local governance (read more). The USF enables communities to improve their access to and use of sanitation and hygiene facilities, thereby contributes to the reduction of morbidity and mortality rates due to sanitation related diseases among the people in the programme area. Covering 44 districts, the USF is managed by the Environmental Health Department of the Ministry of Health, while District Local Governments serve as implementing partners.
