Abstract
This study investigates the factors influencing access to clean water in Uganda. The study focuses on the relationship between water infrastructure, tariffs, and clean water access. The quantitative research design uses time series data recorded from 2008 to 2023. The findings show that water infrastructure significantly affects access to clean water, with higher infrastructure scores associated with (0.017%) lower access levels. Additionally, water tariffs have a positive relationship with access to clean water, indicating that higher tariffs are associated with (0.145%) increased access. The regression analysis confirms the predictive power of the model, with water infrastructure and tariffs explaining a significant amount of the variance in access to clean water with an (R-squared of 40.5%). The study concludes that strategic investments in water infrastructure and the establishment of sustainable tariff policies are crucial for ensuring universal access to clean water in Uganda.
