GH:Sustainable Rural Water & Sanit Serv

closed

The objective of the Sustainable Rural Water and Sanitation Project is to expand access to, and ensure sustainable water supply and sanitation services in rural and small town communities in six regions of Ghana. There are three components to the project, the first component being rural and small town water supply. This component will support the increase and improvement of access to water supply services through the construction and rehabilitation of onsite and piped water supply systems in several types of context. The second component is the rural and small town integrated sanitation and hygiene promotion. This component aims at accelerating the pace for attainment of millennium development goal (MDG) for sanitation by targeting whole communities and small towns within the project area to reach open-defecation-free status. Finally, the third component is the institutional strengthening and project management. This component will support orientation, capacity building and technical assistance, as well as logistics to streamline roles and strengthen capacities of key stakeholders in the water and sanitation sector for effective subproject implementation, operation, monitoring and supervision.
