What happened
The National Water and Sewerage Corporation asked Grundfos to partner with National Enterprise Corporation to manufacture pumps and spare parts in Uganda. This local production initiative aims to eliminate long waits for spare parts currently shipped from abroad. NWSC is also seeking support from the Gates Foundation for its sanitation and research work.

Why it matters
The partnership seeks to establish a local supply chain for water infrastructure components in Uganda. This local production could potentially supply other African utilities, not only those in Uganda. The project also includes designing energy-efficient pumps for the East African market.
