The Vice Chancellor-Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe steps on the foot pedal to launch MAKNAI – a solar-powered prototype to automate cranking of the hand pump that draws water from a borehole, 30th December 2020, SFTNB Conference Hall, Makerere University, Kampala Uganda.

Background

Uganda has abundant fresh water resources to spur socio-economic transformation of communities if sustainably managed. The role of local appropriate technologies and innovations is critical in sustainable management of water resources in pursuit of the country’s development agenda. Appropriate technologies stand central in climate change mitigation, adaptation and resilience. Evidence shows a rich menu of technologies and innovations, in a country that uses water as a catalyst for development, however, their contribution has not been synergized. The need to recognize, track, guide and appreciate contribution of these technologies created an underlying desire to showcase them nationally in recognition of incremental contributions towards the National Development Plan III, Uganda Vision 2040 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Therefore, this is a call to all stakeholders such as inventors, innovators, technology promoters and fabricators among others with innovations and technologies in the categories below to use this opportunity showcase their technological solutions that can propel Uganda to a middle income status.

TECHNOLOGY CATEGORIES:

Sustainable Water Supply and Sanitation Management (SWSSM),
Sustainable and Clean Energy (SCE),
Food Security and Nutrition (FSN),
Healthy Lives and Wellness (HLW),
Climate Smart Technologies and Natural Resources Management (CSTNRM)

Those interested to participate should fill up the Expression of Interest online form accessed at; www.atc.mwe.go.ug or call +256-706-860346 for guidance.

This event is organised by the Ministry of Water and Environment through the Appropriate Technology Centre (ATC) in conjunction with Makerere University
