Risks facing Uganda’s financing framework is that;
- A 1% point reduction in real GDP will reduce revenue by UGX 229.5 Bn in 2021/22, the resulting deficit would increase borrowing.
However, borrowing increases interest payments.

Groundwater is an important part of climate change adaptation and is often a solution for people without access to safe water. In Uganda Groundwater is the most important source of potable water, especially in the rural areas,

Anthony Githinji, Country Director, Kenya @Water: "No government in the world can singly bring water to the doorstep of every citizen. We are promoting credit financing so that communities can access loans to pay for #WASH services, it is a sustainable solution"

Anthony Githinji Executive Director @Water Kenya: Water is a public good but we only allocate 2% of our budgets to water and environment, How do we bring the private financing into the sector?

HAPPENING: Financing Water Environment and Climate Change
@NabunnyaJane: We cannot optimise WASH & environment resources or adapt to climate change yet ignore financing.
@JuliusMukunda: It's time to ask the question: where is the money?

We need to broaden the talk of #FinancingWASH. Children shouldn't suffer from water borne diseases because Govt can't supply water and soap. Govt needs to reduce taxes on soap and sanitary products. #UWEWK22
