After this assessment, Accra is still facing the same problem and even worse. Anytime there is rainfall regardless of the intensity, the chances of flooding is high. So my question is: Why are we still facing such problems? What are the authorities doing about it? The decision makers, what is their role? The citizens, what are they doing to help? Has there been any initiative to curb this situation? It is heartbreaking for the Country capital, after 60+ years of independence to be experiencing flood after every rainfall.  My Request:  I am a master student (Water Engineering) at the Pan African University Institute of Water and Energy Sciences (PAUWES) and I am interested in working on a Flood risk management in the Capital,Accra. I would appreciate it,if you can provide me with any information or document that will help me.  Thank you
