Unit Cost in Ghana

Under on-going reforms in its development policies, the Government of Ghana (GoG), through the Ghana Water and Sewerage Corporation (GWSC), set up the Community Water and Sanitation Division (CWSD). The National Community Water and Sanitation Programme (NCWSP), a programme of the CWSD was launched in 1994 as a means of implementing the Government’s new sector policy for rural and small town community water and sanitation.
The Government’s role under the NCWSP is to evolve from one of active involvement towards encouraging greater user-community, self-reliance, ownership and management of water and sanitation services
