Several communities are subject to involuntary resettlement, especially during the implementation of projects such as infrastructure developments for roads, electricity, water and sanitation, agriculture and most recently oil and gas projects.

At HPI, we support developers to effectively plan, implement, monitor and supervise the implementation of land acquisition, resettlements, rehabilitations and livelihoods restoration as well as managing functional grievance redress mechanisms to affected persons, households and communities with a view of making their lives impacted more positively by these development projects.

Growing up in a clean and safe environment is everyone’s right. Access to clean water, basic toilets, and good hygiene practices keeps communities thriving.

Despite COVID-19 putting the spotlight on the importance of hand hygiene to prevent the spread of disease, about 8 million Ugandans lack access to safe water and 27 million do not have access to improved sanitation facilities (water.org, 2021). People living in rural areas, urban slums, and low-income countries are the most vulnerable and the most affected.

HPI promotes community-based handwashing, improved sanitation and access to safe drinking water through working in close collaboration with governments, the private sector, civil society organizations, and communities to improve systems and practices that fulfil people’s right to water and sanitation.

Creating a safe work environment is critical to the success of any infrastructure project and is one of the best ways to retain company staff and maximize their productivity. Though a costly venture to implement, safe work practices and the use of safety equipment are an important aspect to a business and should not be not be marginalized at any one time, since the repercussions can be severe in the event of an incident.

Among the host community, effective stakeholder engagements can significantly reduce road risk by ensuring that all community needs – such as the needs of vulnerable road users – are considered in all stages of infrastructure projects. There is a need to prepare local communities for impending changes to roads (for example, higher speeds or changes in road layout). HPI can greatly assist with raising awareness of road risk by working hand in hand with different stakeholders like the traffic police and civil society partners, improving public acceptance for safety enforcement. Indeed, making projects and policies more responsive requires a systemic approach so as to ensure road safety for all.

HPI has expertise in implementing Health & Safety standards to ensure that workplaces are in compliance with applicable HSE legal requirements. HPI together with its Clients ensure that Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) laws and guidelines are enforced which helps to avoid or reduce costs that would easily damage one’s business reputation in the event of an incident.
