The development objective of the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA) Sanitation and Water Project for Ghana is to increase access to improved sanitation and improved water supply in the GAMA, with emphasis on low income communities and to strengthen management of environmental sanitation in the GAMA. The project has four components. The first component is provision of environmental sanitation and water supply services to priority low income areas of the GAMA. The objective of this component is to increase the access to environmental sanitation and water supply services in low income areas of the GAMA with a strong focus on liquid sanitation. This component also includes the development and implementation of a hygiene and sanitation behavior change campaign targeted at low-income households, and a major learning and dissemination effort aimed at informing a large-scale institutionalized approach to upgrading sanitation in low-income communities. The second component is improvement and expansion of the water distribution network in the GAMA. The objective of this component is to improve and expand the water distribution network in order to provide piped water to the targeted people living in low income communities in the GAMA. This component will also support the acquisition and installation of water meters and other equipment, as well as the provision of services, aimed at improving water demand management and reducing nonrevenue water. The third component is planning, improvement and expansion of GAMA-wide environmental sanitation services. The objective of this component is to develop integrated GAMA-wide plans for liquid and solid waste management and drainage, and to finance critical elements to improve collection, treatment and disposal of wastewater and septic sludge. Under this component the project will work closely with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to engage the private sector to strengthen sustainability of treatment facilities and expand services in target areas through business development support. The fourth component is institutional strengthening. This component will provide technical assistance (TA) to municipal, metropolitan and national institutions, including the promotion of private sector initiatives. It will also support the development of social accountability mechanisms aimed at applying pressure on those responsible for the services to ensure they are properly operated and maintained.

The project Additional Financing for Ghana Urban Water Project has changed to Active. To see more information, see the project information in the World Bank project database

The objectives of the Additional Financing (AF) for the Urban Water Project are to: (i) significantly increase access to the piped water system in Ghana's urban centers, with an emphasis on improving access, affordability and service reliability to the urban poor; and (ii) restoring long term financial stability, viability and sustainability of the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL). The AF will: (i) provide funds that are badly needed in the short term; (ii) help low income people gain access to reliable water of good quality and at a fraction of what they currently pay; and (iii) allow to continue supporting the Government of Ghana (GoG), which has relied on the Bank and continues to view it as a key development partner in the water sector. The closing date of the Urban Water project is December 31, 2012. It is expected that the activities supported under the AF will be completed by December 31, 2015. Therefore a three year extension of the closing date will be required. This will be the second extension. These changes to the original project development objective (PDO) and results framework as well as changes to the original disbursement parameters and extension of the closing date by three years will constitute a restructuring as part of the additional financing.

Over time, as the PID becomes more experienced with PPPs and International Development Association (IDA) operations, the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) functions may devolve to PID staff and requirement for specialized expertise will be scaled back.
