World Vision Ghana has partnered with the Asunafo North Municipal and Asutifi North District Assemblies to expand access to water, sanitation, and hygiene services in rural communities across the Ahafo Region. The partnership aims to improve the living conditions of people in underserved communities. The collaboration was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding signed at Goaso. This initiative seeks to address the significant gaps in water, sanitation, and hygiene services in rural areas.
According to Joshua Baidoo, Acting National Director of World Vision Ghana, the provision of potable water, sanitation, and hygiene services is primarily the responsibility of the assemblies. However, they require support from development partners to achieve universal coverage. World Vision Ghana is collaborating with the assemblies to ensure residents in rural communities have access to safe drinking water and improved sanitation and hygiene practices. This partnership will contribute to better health outcomes in the region.
The partnership between World Vision Ghana and the Ahafo assemblies is crucial in addressing the financial challenges faced by the assemblies. The assemblies have struggled to extend potable water services to all communities within their jurisdictions due to limited resources. The partnership will help bridge the existing gaps in water, sanitation, and hygiene services, particularly in rural areas. This initiative is expected to improve public health and the wellbeing of residents in the two districts.
Abdul Aziz Jafaru and Benjamin Owusu Afriyie, the Coordinating Directors for Asutifi North and Asunafo North, respectively, expressed appreciation for World Vision Ghana's initiative. They welcomed the partnership, describing it as a timely intervention that will support efforts to improve public health and the wellbeing of residents. The partnership is expected to have a positive impact on the lives of people in rural communities across the Ahafo Region.
The Memorandum of Understanding signed at Goaso marks a significant milestone in the partnership between World Vision Ghana and the Ahafo assemblies. The partnership will focus on providing access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene services in rural communities. This initiative aligns with World Vision Ghana's goal of improving the living conditions of people in underserved communities.
