Ghana - Implementing new business approach for improved sanitation in Ghana: waste reuse as organic fertilizers and energy Ghana - Mise en œuvre d'une nouvelle approche commerciale pour un assainissement de meilleure qualité au Ghana : réutilisation des déchets comme engrais organiques et énergie The Training Research and Networking for Development (TREND) a local NGO, received a € 1.1 million grant to finance the construction of a waste treatment plant that can produce about 500 tons of fertilizer per year, and can generate about 580,000 kWh per year of electricity from the biogas produced from the process. The project will also contribute to improving the hygiene, health and the quality of life of an estimated 125,000 underprivileged urban dwellers by providing them access to new, safe sanitation services through the expansion of the Ashaiman Municipality’s sanitation coverage. Overall, the project will facilitate the development of a business model, with potential for leveraging resources from the private sector for further scaling up to other areas of the Greater Accra Region. The overall goal of this project is to catalyse improved hygiene, health and quality of life for urban slum communities in Ghana through demonstrated and replicable business models for improved sanitation services and waste management. The project will thereby contribute to the sector goal of providing 90% of the population with a domestic toilet by 2020 and the remaining 10% with access to hygienic public facilities. The Project will benefit approximately 125,000 people by 2015 approximately 50% of the total population in the target municipality. This total number of beneficiaries has taken into account the people benefitting from improved environmental sanitation:access to improved sanitation at competitive prices (improved price-quality ratio);reduction of hygiene related diseases through improved public toilets and waste management; access to green and stable energy supply; increased bio-fertiliser use in urban agriculture with higher crop yields and improved soil fertility; job creation through construction works and improved expertise; and job opportunities for men and women in sanitation, transport, waste treatment and agriculture resulting from this Project.

Ghana - The Awoshie-Pokuase Road and Community Development Project Ghana - Projet de construction de la route Awoshie-Pokuase et de développement communautaire With more than 40 percent of its population living in urban areas, Ghana is one of the
most urbanized countries in Africa.  While complementing the AFD financing, the Bank’s operation will enable GOG toachieve its objective of enhancing urban mobility and improving livelihoods in the projectarea of influence. Furthermore, the Awoshie-Pokuase road links two international roads, the
 Tema-Ouagadougou-Bamako corridor (UEMOA/Ghana Road Program I financed by the
Bank) and the Trans-West African Coastal Highway. The proposed project seeks to provide integrated solutions to urban development, one of
the main challenges for Ghana. It aims at constructing the 15 km long Awoshie-Pokuase Road,
secondary roads, and key socioeconomic infrastructure, such as drainage, markets, water
supply, schools, health centers and lorry parks. The Awoshie-Pokuase Road is urgently
required to improve the mobility and accessibility to the rapidly developing northwestern corridor of Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA). The road has a strategic importance as
a potential main artery linking western Accra to northern parts of the city. As such, this road is
included in GOG’s Arterial Road Development Programme (ARDP) to improve access to and
from the capital city and to enhance productivity, hence contributing to poverty reduction and
sustainable economic growth. The direct project beneficiaries include residents,
commuters, traders, vendors, business owners, and communities situated along the 15 km
stretch of the Awoshie-Pokuase Road. The total population of the area is estimated at 230,000
inhabitants with a density varying from 24 to 61 inhabitants/ha.

Ghana - Improved Sanitation and Water Supply Service Delivery to the Urban Poor in Ghana through Tripartite Partnerships TREND (Training, Research and Networking for Development), a local NGO, received a €2 million grant to strengthen sector capacity for planning and delivery of pro-poor WASH services in urban areas through tripartite partnerships approaches involving the public, private and NGO sectors and to increase access to water supply and sanitation in the three pilot areas of Ashaiman, Mankessim and Huni Valley via the construction of infrastructure. The project will identify opportunities for improvements based on assessment of the situation within the WASH sector, analysis of the problems and constraints to pro-poor services delivery. The overall objective is to build national capacity for planning and delivery of pro-poor WASH services for accelerating access to sanitation and water supply in urban areas. This will be achieved through a pilot project that will increase access to water supply and sanitation in three urban areas utilizing tripartite partnership approaches. The medium term outcomes are as follows : (i) Local Governments and sector agencies plan and implement pro-poor WASH investments in partnerships with NGOs and the private sector; (ii) Sustainable access to water supply and sanitation for the 3 pilot areas; (iii) Increased investments for WASH in poor urban areas; (iv) Increased interest of the private sector in service delivery to the poor; (v) An improved enabling environment created and higher priority given to pro-poor WASH in development planning; and (vi) Improved knowledge and learning network informing Government and donor programmes/projects as well as policy, regulation and approach. The direct beneficiaries are the 45,000 poor inhabitants of the pilot areas. More importantly, the pilots will strengthen local government capacity at District and Municipal level to tackle the provision and sustainable management of sanitation and water supply facilities. The project will influence national policy on pro-poor service provision by up-scaling the experiences and lessons learnt at the national level. This will be facilitated by the Sector Agencies and Ministries utilities are part of the Learning Alliances and will benefit from the knowledge gained.

Private Sector Adjustment Loan A.  Issues 1.1   The emphasis on construction works and related activities at the exclusion of other project components aimed at strengthening management and maintenance capabilities has resulted in unsatisfactory project performance. 2.  The inability of the government to provide counterpart funding has caused delays in the implementation of civil works and has impeded the implementation of other project components . 3.  Delay in the payment of Disbursement Requests after having received ADF approval. B.  Actions Taken/Results 1.1 The revised Ministry of Health proposal outlining the activities for the implementation of non-civil works components was reviewed during the mission at meetings held with the MOH and the PIU. 2.1 The Government has recently provided approximately 1.4 billion Cedis for counterpart funding which has allowed the continued implementation of non-civil works activities. C.  Proposed Actions 1.1   The Ministry of Health was requested to submit information clarifying the external training proposal confirming the acceptance of candidates by the training institutions to the Bank by 1 June 1999. 2.1   The Bank should continue to monitor the level and frequency of the receipt of counterpart funding to avoid further implementation delays. 3.1 ADF should expedite the processing of Disbursement Requests to avoid causing operational delays in the implementation of the project. 3.2 The Bank should explore means of reporting disbursements by project component as well as by category.
