Transboundary Area - Community Water Management Project
Project Description:
The Ghana/Cote d'Ivoire Community Water Management Project is a Transboundary Area project between south western part of Ghana and the south eastern part of Cote d'Ivoire. This one year project is part of Community Watershed Partnership Program (CWPP) of USAID and is jointly funded by USAID, GETF and the Coca cola Foundation aimed at promoting sustainable use, management and protection of the water resources in the Tano River basin which stretches from the Brong Ahafo Region in Ghana and empties into the Abi Lagoon in Cote d'Ivoire. It is therefore a shared resource.
The key goal of the project is to provide potable water and sanitation in select communities within the Tano River Basin and to improve the conservation of the basin headwaters. The guiding principle of this project is to build upon existing initiatives, structures and institutions to maximize benefits and promote lasting results.
