Efforts at improving sanitation and education in rural communities in Ghana received a major boost, following Plan International Ghana's interventions across 16 communities in the Jasikan Municipality of the Oti Region and the West Mamprusi Municipality in the North East Region.
Through its Integrated Package for Sustainable Development (I-PADEV) project, the organisation has tackled long-standing issues of poor sanitation, lack of potable water, and low school enrolment, significantly transforming lives in the beneficiary communities.
As a result of these interventions, 16 communities have been declared Open Defecation Free (ODF).
In the Jasikan Municipality, these include Asele, Lekanti, Nanankor, Udey, Atwereboana, Atonkor, Akaa, Koensim, Ketsi Nkwanta, and Dzoku.
