Resumen The Water and Sanitation Sub-Sector Gender Strategy (2010-15) highlights that women and girls in Uganda, as in other sub-Saharan African countries, are the major water collectors, users and managers in homes. They are also the major promoters of household and community sanitation activities. They, therefore, bear the impact of inadequate, deficient or inappropriate water and sanitation services. However, men still dominate the arena of planning and decision making regarding water and sanitation investments and women’s views are often underrepresented, implying that women’s practical and strategic needs are not addressed. In order to address these issues, the Water and Sanitation sector in Uganda developed its first Water Sector Gender Strategy (WSGS, 2003- 2008) (WSG I), in line with the National Gender Policy. This second Water and Sanitation Sub-Sector Gender Strategy for 2010–2015 (WSSGS II) has been prepared after reviewing the WSG I and experiences gained from its implementation. Texto completo Inglés
