ENHANCING LIVELIHOODS OF THE URBAN POOR THROUGH PRODUCTIVE USES OF UTILITY-SUPPLIED WATER SERVICES – EVIDENCE FROM KAMPALA, UGANDA Reports on a study which adapted the existing rural-based
Multiple Use water Services framework into a slum-specific framework CONTENTS * Abstract * Citation * Link ABSTRACT Slums, one of the main faces of urban poverty, are escalating in
Sub-Saharan countries and other developing countries. Achievement of the overly ambitious Sustainable Development Goals will require cross-sectoral interventions. A good example is the
Multiple Use water Services (MUS) framework, a livelihood-centred approach that is implemented in rural areas of over twenty countries, where water supply primarily designed for domestic or
irrigation purposes is also used for productive uses (e.g. animal husbandry) to improve householders’ livelihoods. This paper reports on a study conducted in 2017/18 in Kampala (Uganda)
which adapted the existing rural-based MUS framework into a slum-specific framework This work is part of the REACH ‘Improving Water Security for the Poor’ programme CITATION Kayaga S.,
