World Vision Ghana, Ahafo districts sign MoU for universal WASH coverage
World Vision Ghana has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Asunafo North Municipal and Asutifi North District Assemblies to deliver universal water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure and services across targeted rural communities.
In an effort to provide universal water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure and services across rural communities in the Asunafo North Municipal and Asutifi North Districts of Ghana, World Vision Ghana has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the two local assemblies. The signing ceremony took place in Goaso on Thursday, September 24, 2026.
The MoU aims to extend safely managed water and sanitation facilities to targeted rural communities, promote sustainable behavioral change, and improve hygiene practices through Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) strategies. This collaborative approach involves pooling resources, technical expertise, labor, and infrastructure support.
Under the agreement, the Asunafo North Municipal and Asutifi North District Assemblies will facilitate community entry, mobilization, and leadership engagement, contribute locally available resources, support WASH infrastructure maintenance and sustainability, participate in capacity-building sessions, and enforce local by-laws promoting sanitation and hygiene.
On the other hand, World Vision Ghana will provide technical expertise, training, financial and material resources, ensure safeguarding, gender inclusion, and social accountability mechanisms, and lead overall project monitoring, reporting, and evaluation activities. The initiative also emphasizes the importance of child and adult inclusion, gender equity, and social accountability across all activities.
