John Twinomujuni earned the Uganda Development Champion Award for his water work. The engineer leads urban water and sewerage services at the Water Ministry. His efforts brought clean water systems to many Ugandan communities. Award organizers named him to the Development Champions Journal for 2025 and 2026. President Museveni and Prime Minister Nabbanja received similar honors before.
Twinomujuni helped connect more than 720,000 new customers to water supplies over four years. Workers finished water systems across 26 towns like Bugongi and Bukakata. Teams continue building projects at 11 other locations such as Kagadi and Nazigo. The main water network reaches over 1,200 urban areas across Uganda. Rural communities use more than 2,000 gravity flow systems for their water needs.
Government reforms started changing water services back during 2001. Officials wanted better efficiency and lower costs for citizens. The ministry added private companies and local water authorities to improve operations. Uganda aims to bring clean water access to every village. Current sanitation levels show 74 percent of people have pit latrines at their homes.
