CoST Uganda impact: Transforming lives and infrastructure in Wakiso District

Wakiso District is a rapidly expanding urban area outside Uganda’s bustling capital city, Kampala. In recent years, it has suffered from many of the problems which can occur when infrastructure provision fails to keep pace with population growth such as poor sanitation and overcrowding. In the past, the local council has lacked the capacity to manage these growing demands. However, since 2017 the four features of the CoST approach – disclosure, assurance, multi-stakeholder working and social accountability – have helped to transform infrastructure delivery in Wakiso District. This infographic showcases some of the impact we’ve seen since then.
