considering the pace at which uganda government policy is being implemented and enacted one after the other, comitment by the development partners to contribute towards the implementation of WASH at schools, i can be bold to say we have not failed on WASH IN SCHOOLs rather i can say we are moving at a slow pace. Available evidance show that, school enrollment is poor in schools with no WASH interventions comparatively and in uganda everry school must have a water facility and latrines for both girls and boys seperately at aratio of 1:35 for girls and 1:45 for boys as the national standards set by the government.But for your information some schools are having the ratio as low below the national standards eg 1:23 for girls and 1:43 boys. Innovations on new tecnologies are being encouraged by the government & other development partners. Tecnologies like Ecosan latrines, mary -go round powerflash toilet which even present more easy and permanent solution at schools interms of hand washing,flashing and smell free environment(if there's need for these tech pliz contact me on ma mail address for some pics deatails) using water from the same school built water facility with multiple water use, for soap we encourage schools to use much cheaper to get ash instead of expensive soap, training school sanitation clubs and teachers as patron and matron respectively. In nutshell therefore, WASH at schools can be asuccess and is in progress except its pace is to some extent slow as there varrying evidances sugesting more enrollment to girl child education and safe water and decent latrine tecnologies to even address the land pressure possed by using old tech like VIP with design period of less than 5 years,declaring failure is musch earlier now. Till then,SAM
