Challenges of Exclusionary Planning of RWSS
Davis Ddamulira – Head of Advocacy and Communication
WaterAid Uganda
- Setting Direction and mapping out roles: The experience in Uganda is that in the past this was a preserve of government but there has been great development towards inclusion of other players
- Emerging trends: The call for clarifying the role of governments vis-à-vis other players e.g. Private sector, CSO, donors etc.
- Policy priority and Financing: Setting priorities against the weight of level of financing. Harmonising agendas and changing the status quo
- Centre and Local Government(Decentralisation): Clarity on levels of roles
Context of Planning (Focus on Local government)
• Historical Aspects of Participatory (Inclusion) Planning:
- Efforts towards inclusionary planning: Participation of Non-state actor, Mainly from the time of Developing “Nationally Owned” policies post-SAP era e.g. Development of Poverty Eradication Action Plan
- Push from Development Partners: The concept was promoted as increasing ownership
- Power and Influence: This was mainly around experience and new comers – Donors, government, private sector, CSO etc
- Political Climate: The weight of views from CSOs were either considered political because of the blurred role and mandate.
• Control : In some cases, this is used as a means of control and influence.
• Accountability: Blurred roles of and lack of clear accountability
• Identification and Targeting: Planning becomes one size fits all
• Inefficiency: Because of lack of accountability there is inefficiency of government and wastage of resources.
• Limited long term focus: Service provision becomes more focus on short term
• Political Interference: Technocrats succumb to pressure of politicians
