Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA) Sanitation and Water Project for Ghana

Podacast about improving access to water and sanitation services using Community-Led Total Sanitation approach

The Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA) Sanitation and Water Project was launched to increase access to improved and affordable sanitation and water services in the GAMA, including reducing the cost of a toilet from US$600 to about US$50. The GAMA project benefited more than 230,000 people in low-income communities, increasing household toilet coverage by 12%. Cholera and waterborne disease outbreaks have decreased thanks to improved environmental sanitation conditions, household sanitation facilities and 282 km of water pipelines.

Charlotte Akwaah Adjei, project manager of the project, describes (in English) the project's approach and achievements in the podcast.
