Overview

The project aims at improving the public health and environmental integrity in urban and peri-urban Ghana through the provision of reliable and complete sanitation which will lead to reduced incidence of waterborne diseases, improved access to complete sanitation and increased volume of treated wastewater and faecal sludge. In addition, the increased reuse of treated effluent and nutrients will improve the preparedness of sanitation systems towards climate variability through reduced pressure on limited freshwater resources.
