-
Maternal and child health.
-
Strengthening local governance and community health systems.
-
Agricultural extension and food security projects.
Large-scale donor-supported projects―often funded or implemented by international consulting and development firms―have traditionally concentrated on capacity building, training, and technical assistance rather than infrastructure procurement.
However, the appearance of recent tenders for incineration equipment suggests that public institutions and private operators alike are recognizing the importance of building physical waste treatment capacity, especially in:
-
Regional referral hospitals and district hospitals.
-
Private clinics and laboratory networks.
-
Industrial zones handling hazardous materials.
-
Temporary medical facilities for emergencies.
Environmental and Social Impact
Investing in modern incinerators brings multiple benefits:

Example: A Recent Incineration Tender
In July 2025, an international competitive bidding process was announced in Uganda for the supply of modern incineration equipment and related services. While detailed tender documents remain proprietary, the project appears self-funded rather than donor-funded, showing increased commitment by local institutions or private operators to invest in waste treatment capacity.
This move stands out because the organization traditionally associated with technical consulting, research, and project implementation in sectors like malaria prevention, maternal health, and local governance―has now launched a procurement process for physical waste treatment infrastructure.
The Broader Context
Despite their traditional focus on health systems strengthening, environmental consulting, and community programs, some international organizations are now responding to local needs by helping procure tangible assets. In Uganda, where medical and hazardous waste management has long relied on small-scale, often outdated incinerators or open burning, modern, compliant equipment is becoming a priority.
This transformation is driven by:
-
Rising awareness of infection risks.
-
Increased waste generation from growing healthcare networks.
-
New regulatory requirements for hospitals and clinics.
Uganda’s waste management sector is evolving:
-
From policy and training alone → towards real investment in incinerators and treatment equipment.
