Water Aid Ghana
Aims:
- help 80,000 people gain access to water, sanitation and hygiene every year by 2011
- support local organisations to raise their own funds, while keeping a strong advisory role on how these funds are spent to ensure a further 40,000 people gain access to water, sanitation and hygiene every year by 2011
- To ensure problems of the poorest, socially excluded and marginalised groups, like women, elderly, disabled and those living with HIV/AIDS, receive increased support.
How does Water Aid provide support?
Water Aid works in partnership with 8 non governmental organisations (NGOs). These partners carry out the day to day management of water, sanitation and hygiene education projects in 6 out of 10 of the countries regions. Water Aid provides financial support, training and technical advice as well as assistance with planning, budgeting and institutional development.
Water Aid also works in influencing governments, to ensure that they meet the millennium development goals (MDGs) and the Ghanaian poverty reduction strategy paper. The MDG targets are to halve the proportions of people without access to water and sanitation between 1990 and 2015.
