Ghana
Ghana is one of the other African countries where the WASHCost project is taking place. According to the Joint Monitoring Programme, water supply coverage in rural areas increased from 37% up to 64% between 1990 and 2004, while the coverage in urban areas remained at a fairly high level of around 88%. Little progress has been made in the field of sanitation: coverage is as low as 27% and 11% in urban and rural respectively.
WASHCost in Ghana is being implemented by a partnership led by the Department of Civil Engineering at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
