In October 2007, a team of consultants from the Hygiene Improvement Project (HIP) visited Uganda to determine if sanitation marketing would be a viable approach in Uganda, and to make specific recommendations to HIP and the donor community that would move the sanitation marketing agenda forward. This report presents the key findings and recommendations stemming from the trip.
The overarching conclusion is that sanitation marketing is both a viable and needed approach to increase sanitation uptake among rural households in Uganda. The team based its assessment on an analysis of the policy environment, formative research, and local-level conditions concerning Uganda’s rural household sanitation sector.

As a consultant Engineer actively involved in hygiene and sanitation promotion in rural areas, I would like to state that the above findings are absolutely true. Ugandas biggest problem is not lack of money to change things, but lack or knowledge and ignorance of the rural folks on how to better their sanitation situation. A good sanitation marketing will be welcome in Uganda. Some of us are on ground ready to help. Joel Aita Managing Director JOADAH CONSULT

As a third year student of Makerere University who did a research on waste management in Iganga Town council, what was found out is exactly what i found out from the research i carried out in Iganga Town council. There is still a great need to educate rural people on sanitation issues.
