The proposed up-scaling follows huge strides recorded in the implementation of the pro-poor project in the Greater Accra Region.
GAMA, through the World Bank is expected to provide nineteen thousand, one hundred affordable, environmental friendly state of the art toilet facilities to low income and urban communities and expand access to potable water to these areas by 2020. The World Vision International estimates that about 15 in every 100 Ghanaians have access to sanitation facilities and services, while nearly all public schools lack access to improved sanitation and hygiene facilities.
So far, more that fifteen thousand four hundred toilets have been constructed for households in various assemblies within the catchment area for the ongoing Greater Accra Metropolitan Water and Sanitation Project. This figure according to project managers is subject to change considering the rate with which contractors are constructing the facilities based on the increasing demand.
