Tetra Tech (Uganda)

Tetra Tech is a leading, global provider of consulting and engineering services. Tetra Tech is promoting hygiene behavior practices and strengthening water governance to improve accessibility and sustainability of water and sanitation services in rural communities in Uganda.

Uganda remains one of the world’s poorest countries, with almost a quarter of the population living on less than USD$1.25 a day. Economic and human development in Uganda is inhibited by poor sanitary conditions at households, schools, and health centers, which cost the country the equivalent of USD$177 million per year in lost productivity and medical costs, according to The Water and Sanitation Program.

In Uganda Tetra Tech is supporting an enabling business environment, investing in product design and supply chain development, and exploring financial instruments to address constraints for households and private investment. Through the USHA Activity, Tetra Tech is working with various stakeholders to develop and implement a national marketing strategy through a collective impact approach aimed at unlocking public, private, and household investment in sanitation products and services.
