THE Swedsish International Development Agency (SIDA) has given $13,000 (about sh30m) to Katabi sub-county in Wakiso district for wetland maintenance around Entebbe.
The money will be used under the Lake Victoria region local authorities cooperation programme.
It is aimed at strengthening participatory community-based regulation and administration of wetland resources in Kitala and Nkumba parishes, Dr. Julius Ayo-Odongo, the secretary general, the Katabi sub-county wetland conservation sustainable wetland management project, explained recently.
