The Minister for Water Resources and Sanitation, Kofi Adda, has reiterated the need for a road-map to address sanitation challenges in the national capital, Accra.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a Stakeholder sensitization forum yesterday [Wednesday], Kofi Adda said it is necessary to have a plan in order to be able to address sanitation problems in the country.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”m8H6WgEO7OH0caWe7CWob3JLitgfoaCe”]\u201cI will say it is critical because in any endeavour, if you do not have a good plan, you may not know where you are heading, you will be lucky to get on the right path. So we need a master plan attached to getting everything that we need to anticipate in trying to develop a very efficient sanitation module\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also noted that, once the module is developed and used for the Greater Accra Region and it works effectively, the same modules will used for other regions.<\/p>\n

An integrated master-plan to keep the city clean known as Integrated Urban Environmental Sanitation Master Plan (IUESMP), will complement all existing strategies in the sanitation, drainage and water management sub-sectors to holistically deal with sanitation and waste.<\/p>\n

The initiative is worth $3 million, and is funded by the World Bank. The memorandum of understanding was signed between the government and the World Bank in October 2017.<\/p>\n

The initiative has come at a time Ghana is battling with poor sanitation and drainage systems.<\/p>\n

The President as part of his vision of making Accra the cleanest city in Africa, inaugurated a detailed national sanitation campaign in 2017.<\/p>\n

President Nana Akufo-Addo on Monday, November 13, 2017, launched the National Sanitation Campaign<\/strong><\/span><\/a> not only with a call for a change in attitude from Ghanaians, but some policy initiatives to enforce already existing sanitation laws.<\/p>\n

Below are some key points from the National Sanitation Campaign initiative:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong>Establishment of the National Sanitation Authority<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong>Establishment of National Sanitation Fund, which will be \u201cannounced shortly,\u201d according to the President.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong>The local government charged to ensure one house, one toilet policy is adhered to.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong>Sanitation Ministry and Attorney General\u2019s office to set aside a day to try sanitation offences<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong>The Evaluation and Monitoring Minister is to publish Metropolitan, Municipal, District Assembly\u2019s sanitation performances quarterly.<\/p>\n

6.<\/strong>Sanitation Ambassadors will be appointed to help with the campaign.<\/p>\n

7.<\/strong>The development of three new material recovery sites for the recovery and recycling of waste from Accra.<\/p>\n

8.<\/strong>The government intends to adequately resource waste management companies with modern and effective tools for their work.<\/p>\n

9.<\/strong>All government departments and agencies will be assigned two officers, Sanitation Marshals and Deputy Marshals, to ensure the compliance with sanitation by-laws.<\/p>\n

10.<\/strong>The establishment of a National Sanitation Brigade, made up of Ghanaian youth, to enforce sanitation laws nationwide.<\/p>\n

11.<\/strong>The deployment of automatic sweepers for major streets<\/p>\n
