Learning, adapting, embedding : experiences and lessons from the Triple-S Initiative in Uganda

This collection of stories reflects the experiences of some of the individuals who were involved in the inception and implementation of the Triple-S Initiative in Uganda. The stories give personal accounts of the understanding and appreciation of the Triple-S Initiative; key achievements at personal and institutional level; proposals of how the achievements can be scaled up and sustained throughout the rural water sub sector; and outstanding challenges in the rural water sub sector in Uganda. Collectively, the stories highlight the fact that learning was at the centre of the Triple-S Initiative. They reinforce the message that a learning and adaptive sector is one that engages in continuous learning and reflection and is thus able to adapt to changing circumstances and demands - which is vital for provision of water services that last.
