The Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources (MSWR) has launched the new Water Policy 2024, to address climate change issues and strengthen rural water uses.
It is a revised version of the 2007 Water Policy and is expected to guide stakeholders on issues about sustainable financing to bring on board Small Water Enterprises.
Launching the policy at the Mole 35 Conference, which ended on Friday, a Deputy Director at the Ministry, Kwaku Quansah, said the new policy would help enterprises to support the delivery of water for all Ghanaians.
The five-day conference, held in the Volta Region capital, Ho, was on the theme: 'Looking back on the implementation of SDG6: progress challenges and way forward." Under the auspices of the Coalition of non-governmental organisations in the Water and Sanitation Sector (CONIWAS), it was also supported by partners, including MSWR, UNICEF and the Greater Accra Metropolitan Assembly Water and Sanitation Project.
