COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION APPROACH FOR ROAD MAINTENANCE IN UGANDA

This paper details the approach taken, the benefits derived, and lessons learned to date by the Ministry of Works, Housing and Communication (MoWHC) effort to improve the road maintenance system in Uganda. In Western Uganda, MoWHC has conducted workshops and site visits with nearly 70 sub-counties in 6 districts as part of a campaign to foster better communication with stakeholders. Through this road committee approach, local communities are better informed of road maintenance efforts.
