Challenges of developing a peri-urban water supply strategy in Ghana
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:11 authored by F. Mawuena Dotse, Nii Odai Laryea, Christopher Sackeyfio, Gertrude A. AsokwahThis paper discusses the efforts to fashion a strategy for peri-urban water supply in Ghana with financial
support from Agence Francaise de Developpment. It posits that the institutional weakness of the Water
Directorate of the erstwhile Ministry of Water Resources, Works and Housing as the policy formulation
unit for the water sector created too much space for the Ghana Water Company Limited to abort the
process for the successful implementation of the pilot project and the replication of an appropriate
model. The paper however sees the creation of a new Ministry for Sanitation and Water Resources as an
opportunity to strengthen the Water Directorate and the eventual development of an appropriate strategy
for the peri- urban areas so as to minimise the problem of the missing middle.
