Description of the project
With support from funding partners, Instiglio’s Kenya office has been working since January 2024 to support relevant Government of Uganda (GoU) stakeholders in adopting innovative finance opportunities to promote effective and sustainably financed safe water services in rural areas. In response to core barriers identified within the rural safe water sector in Uganda, Instiglio has proposed the Delivery Accelerator (DA), a financial vehicle with tailored results-based methods. The DA aims to i) bridge the finance gap in the rural safe water sub-sector through innovative financing, ii) support the operationalization and effectiveness of Uganda's rural safe water Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Framework, and iii) deliver more accountable results in the rural safe water sub-sector.

Instiglio is now designing the early working model of the DA, through the following key activities:
1. Construct a preliminary design of the financial vehicle: Instiglio is leading the technical design components of the Delivery Accelerator with a keen understanding of both the legal and financial protocols of the GoU and potential funders. We are defining and constructing key structural parameters of the DA, such as its legal framework, scope, and performance elements necessary for success. A prototype is being created based on feedback and collaborative co-design efforts with the GoU and other key Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) stakeholders. The design will be further informed by relevant legal and financial regulations, as well as by case studies and lessons learned from district-level piloting of performance-based contracts (see below). Insights from other financial vehicles and experiences in East Africa, particularly in the rural safe water sector, will be incorporated to ensure the design is tailored to the local context and addresses operational challenges. This will require extensive engagement with stakeholders both nationally and sub-nationally.
2. Performance management strategy: Instiglio is co-designing a performance management strategy for the rural safe water sub-sector with Uganda's MWE and other stakeholders. This strategy intends to unify efforts, enhance accountability, embed a performance culture, enhance service delivery, and improve stakeholder capacity in the sub-sector. Instiglio is designing key performance indicators across the rural safe water value chain, as well as governance, measurement, and verification methodologies, in line with government priorities.
3. Performance contracts: Instiglio will support MWE in designing and implementing performance contracts between selected districts in Uganda and service providers, in line with the performance management strategy. These contracts will incentivize results in the sub-sector and develop lessons for the scaling of Uganda's O&M Framework across the country.
