G
-WASH Project

The G-WASH, a USAID-funded project, is implemented by ADRA Ghana in partnership with Relief International (Principal Implementer) and Winrock International. ADRA’s core role has been with the hydro-geological investigation for water provision, construction of institutional and household latrines and monitoring environmental issues. The following activities were implemented in 2011 as contribution towards the set project objectives:
• 135 local artisans were trained in the central, Western and Greater Accra regions to construct toilet facilities;
• 805 household latrines have been constructed and officially handed over to communities in Volta, Central, Greater Accra and   Western regions;
• 35 institutional toilet facilities have been constructed for schools in the Central (Gomoa East, Gomoa West and Assin South districts) and Western (Bibiani, Bia and Juaboso districts) regions; and
• Other construction works are at various stages of completion.
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC, being implemented by Winrock Int.) activities are on-going and nine Local NGOs are being used to implement a host of BCC and capacity building activities in the target communities.
