NGOs in water and sanitation strategise to assess urban water supply

The Coalition of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in Water and Sanitation (CONIWAS) with funding from Water Aid Ghana has strategised with its members to assess the urban water supply situation in Ghana.    

It has adopted what is known as Citizen’s Engagement Tool and Community Score Card to enable beneficiaries of projects and services to have access to information on the services they are enjoying. 

The Programme officer of ProNet Association, an NGO, and member of the coalition, Mr Emmanuel Adisenu undertook the community score card exercise at Sabon Zongo in the Ablekuma Central Sub-Metro District to draw an action plan with the responsibilities given to either the service provider or community members. 

District Engineer of the Ghana Water Company Limited, Kwaku Amos, responding to some key problems identified, advised community members to prevent the continuous wasting of treated water.
