The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in collaboration with Global Communities has launched an Enhancing WASH project to provide access to basic sanitation services and potable drinking water to about 550,000 people in six regions.

The regions are Upper East, Upper West, North-East, Northern, Savannah, and Oti.

Dubbed, “Enhancing Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Activity”, the five-year project seeks to partner and work with the government to enhance governance and planning for WASH projects and improve on the general WASH situation in the beneficiary areas.

Funded by the United States (U.S) government, the project will be jointly implemented by a consortium of 11 organisations led by Global Communities.

Launching the project in Bole, Mr Edward Thompson, reiterated the U.S government’s commitment to supporting Ghana to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Six, which sought to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all by 2030.

“Communities need clean water and healthy sanitation, together we will continue to support individuals, communities, Districts, and Regions to achieve universal access to clean water and basic sanitation and hygiene services” he stated.

He added that the new effort would ultimately empower citizens to adopt sustainable, long-term WASH behavior change to improve their health and economic opportunities.

The project builds on over a decade of partnership between the U.S Government and the Government of Ghana on water, sanitation, hygiene and over overall health care delivery systems.

“Over the past five years, through the WASH for Health project, 150,000 people gained access to basic drinking water services and 200,000 gained access to improved sanitation facilities, WASH for Health built and rehabilitated 200 water boreholes, providing an essential source of water to hospitals, clinics, and schools.

In addition, five small-town water systems were providing clean water to 50,000 people.

Also through WASH for Health, a ground-breaking partnership with the private sector led to the development of the Digni-loo, a more durable latrine which is 80 per cent cheaper than similar latrines.

The model is now being used in countries around the globe” he noted.

For his part, the Behavior Change Officer of the project, Mr Sumbo Martin said the project would accelerate sustainable improvement in water and sanitation access and improve hygiene behaviours in targeted Districts.

Participants of the workshop who were drawn from various departments thanked the US government for funding the project, and expressed commitment to ensuring the successful implementation of the project.

They said the beneficiary regions had poor WASH coverage and expressed optimism that the intervention would go a long way improve on the WASH situation in the areas.
