Ghana - Greater Accra Sustainable Sanitation and Livelihoods Improvement Project

About this project

The Greater Accra Sustainable Sanitation and Livelihoods Improvement Project aims to increase access to safe and sustainable sanitation to the residents of the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA), targeting the urban and periurban poor residents. It will provide domestic and municipal level sanitation infrastructure, support skills development and livelihood improvements, and enhance the capacity of sanitation service providers and the participating local government authorities to better deliver and manage climate resilient sanitation services within GAMA. Indeed, only 20% of Ghana’s urban population has access to improved sanitation, making Ghana one of the lowest covered countries in Africa. The present project supports Ghana’s National Environmental Sanitation Policy that seeks to improve environmental and public health. This support should be done through: (i) provision of improved sanitation infrastructure and services; (ii) strengthening capacity of local government authorities (MMAs) for monitoring, enforcement and regulation; and (iii) reduced dependence on public finance for construction as well as operation and maintenance. The project comprises five (05) components, namely: 1) Sustainable Household and School Sanitation and Hygiene; 2) Improved Waste Management Infrastructure and Services; 3) Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Improvement; 4) Enhanced Livelihoods and Improved Economic Wellbeing; and 5) Project Management.
