UGANDA: Water-Truck Monitoring
SECTOR: Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)
HUMANITARIAN NEED: Uganda is currently host to close to 1.2 million refugees. In 2017, a large number of South Sudanese refugees came to the West Nile region of northern Uganda. During an early-stage crisis, water-trucking is often the only option to meet life-saving needs and during that time more than 850,000 refugees received drinking water through trucks. This meant as many as 600 trucks contracted by a range of INGOs and a single organization such as the DRC could be managing water flows of over 18 million liters per month.
