Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.
The development objective of the Sustainable Rural Water and Sanitation Project for Ghana is to expand access to, and ensure sustainable water supply and sanitation services in rural and small town communities in six regions. This Project Paper seeks the approval of the Executive Directors to provide an additional credit in an amount of SDR 33 million (USD 45.7 million equivalent) to the Project. The proposed additional credit would finance the cost of completing the remaining contracts for works and services under the SRWSP which could not be executed as a result of cost–overruns resulting from: (a) the fact that communities had significantly outgrown the initial design capacities thus requiring a redesign of both the transmission and distribution mains; (b) the need to bolster the capacities of pipelines, pumps and storage tanks in the 15 small town systems initially targeted for rehabilitation in the Northern region to cover the larger than estimated population and geographic dispersion of towns; (c) extension of some small town water supply systems to adjoining communities not included in the original plan; and (d) the selection of additional beneficiary communities in the Upper West region. The Project Paper also proposes a project restructuring to extend the closing date from June 30, 2017 to December 31, 2019 and to adjust the results framework, disbursement estimates, component costs, and implementation schedule. The additional financing (AF) will assist Ghana in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) related to equitable access to safe and affordable water and adequate sanitation for all by 2030.
