Supporting sustainable water supply in Uganda with Nexus Green

Project overview

A new model for ‘green’

A typical system consists of a water source, transmission pipeline, solar-powered pumping, storage tanks, a guardhouse, a control room, latrines and distribution networks. For irrigation, on-farm networks will be constructed, facilitating bulk water transfer from areas of surplus to those in need. The project also promotes water harvesting technologies to support irrigation and livestock development. 

By pioneering a scalable green model, this initiative has the potential to be expanded, advancing Uganda’s journey towards a more sustainable economy and environment.  

Project STORY

Supporting project success 

At 82 percent completion, our support has evolved to focus on cost and commercial management, scheduling and project management. Our deep integration with the contractor has allowed us to provide strategic advisory services, working collaboratively to ensure successful implementation. 

We’ve supported the project from concept to financial close, preparing essential bankable reports and project execution plans. Additionally, we continue to coordinate procurement processes for design and supervision subcontractors, civil subcontractors and suppliers. 

Community impact 

The project is transforming lives by improving water access, particularly benefiting women and young people who are traditionally responsible for water collection. By enabling irrigation for high-value crops, it’s fostering economic empowerment, increasing agricultural productivity and creating jobs in the sector.  

This, in turn, contributes to Uganda’s overall economic growth. The project, once complete, will serve approximately 420,000 people across the country.
