Ghana : Water and Sanitation

The First Community Water and Sanitation Project (CWSP-I), 1994-2000, was the World Bank's first stand-alone rural water and sanitation project in Ghana. It was designed to help achieve the objectives of the National Community Water and Sanitation Program by: a) providing basic water and sanitation services to communities that will contribute toward the capital costs and pay the normal operations, maintenance, and repair costs of their facilities; b) ensuring sustainability of these facilities through community management, including involvement of women, private sector provision of goods and services, and public sector promotion and support; and c) maximizing health benefits by integrating water, sanitation, and hygiene education interventions. This Notes summarizes some of the target achieved and the lessons learned from the implementation of the project.
