Lira District Water and Sanitation Coordination Committee has set new targets for next year. They aim to reach 75% coverage and 85% functionality, up from 68% and 78% respectively. Is this attainable in the given time? What conditions are necessary for those targets to be reached? How does Lira compare to that national rates?
Lira was one of the districts affected by the protracted armed conflict between the Lords Resistance Army and the Government of Uganda, can we assume now that they have fully recovered from the effects of the conflict so much so that they can raise their bar so high?
Of course there is nothing wrong with raising the bar - it gives them the motivation to work harder. And no one will blame the DWSCC is those targets are not met. However, there is such a thing as being pragmatic.....just thinking :-)
