Protecting Ghana’s sanitation gains requires sustainable funding –Stakeholders warn

That concern took centre stage at a high-level stakeholder dialogue on landfill and waste management held in Accra, where government officials, local authorities, sanitation experts and private sector operators warned that Ghana risks reversing decades of progress unless a reliable funding model is urgently established.

FOR years, Ghana has been celebrated as one of Africa’s emerging leaders in waste management and environmental sanitation.

It will require political commitment, innovative financing and a recognition that waste management is not simply a service to be paid for, but a critical investment in public health, environmental sustainability and national development.
