The money derived from this activity is planned to contribute to the budgets of the local councils. Table 6.1 below summarizes the providers of municipal services in Uganda. From the table, it is clear that water and sewerage services are provided by the government parastatal NWSC in almost all parts of Uganda. Public transport is the only fully privatized urban service. Other services that have private sector involvement, include refuse collection, emergency services, education, healthcare, housing and recreation facilities.
Road maintenance remains under the responsibility of the local authorities.
Markets, taxi parks and abattoirs are some of the other services that have been privatized. Initially, the KCC worked with informal organizations and associations that were already running these services and facilities. This arrangement has proved to be fruitful. However, small companies are been nurtured in order to build recognition in terms of competence and have been allowed to operate and dump at city garbage dumps free of charge. Physical planning and land surveying are in the process of been privatized.
