The WatSSUP project is implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The EU/ BMZ joint measure under the GIZ Water Supply and Sanitation for refugee settlements and host communities in Northern Uganda (WatSSUP) project is part of the EU Action “Water Supply and Self-Reliance for Refugees (WASER)” co-financed by the European Union (EU). The main outcome of this component is to ensure national efforts by key state and non-state actors in Uganda to adopt knowledge-based, integrated policies on transition, service integration, and self-reliance are supported at national and sub-national levels. The component compliments the livelihood component and infrastructure component of the WASER Action (lead by AVSI/World Vision and KfW respectively). The project is part of the BMZ special initiative “Displaced Persons and Host Countries”. Key political partner is the Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE), together with implementing partners of its decentralized agencies, including water utilities such as Northern Umbrella of Water and Sanitation (NUWS) and National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC). The geographical implementation area is in the refugee hosting districts Yumbe, Madi Okollo and Terego with a focus on thirteen refugee-hosting sub counties and the three refugee settlements (Imvepi, Rhino and Bidibidi). Additionally, limited activities are implemented in Kiryandongo District and settlement. The WatSSUP Offices are in Arua, Lira and Kampala. Within the context of CRRF-implementation (Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework), the objective of the WatSSUP project is to support the Government of Uganda, through the Ministry of Water and Environment, in establishing utility led service delivery for water supply and sanitation in selected refugee settlements and host communities in line with the Water and Environment Sector Refugee Response Plan (WESRRP) and international refugee strategies. The aim of the project is to ensure sustainable water and sanitation services in selected refugee settlements and host communities through supporting the transition from humanitarian-led water supply to government-owned utilities (Utility Model).
