Sustainable Management of Ghana's Sanitation

8^THNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT FORUM

The National Development Planning Commission, will hold its eighth and last National Development Forum for the year on Thursday, 19 December 2019 from 5:30pm-7:30pm at the British Council in Accra. The forum will focus on the theme, “Sustainable Management of Ghana’s Sanitation”.

Ghana’s poor state of sanitation has been an issue of grave concern, placing the country as one of the lowest ranked among lower middle-income countries. Although, over the years, various government policies and interventions have sought to stem the precarious condition, there has been little or no improvement. The achievement of Ghana’s long-term development vision of a solidly developed nation, at 100 years will be in jeopardy if sanitation is not greatly enhanced. Yet, the Sustainable Development Goal and 2030 Agenda target of 6.2 gives a shorter time horizon for completely transforming sanitation, stating that “by 2030, achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations”.

To this end, the 8th National Development Forum seeks to assemble the views of public officials and experts, private citizens and the general public, on how to address the relentless sanitation problem and ensure that the state of sanitation is in correspondence with Ghana’s development trajectory. The Keynote address for the forum will be delivered by Ing. Steve Anoff Amoaning- Yankson, theimmediate pastPresident, Ghana Institution of Engineers. It will be followedwith a moderated panel discussion, an open forum and questions and answers session. The discussions will consider among others, options for promoting an effective and coordinated public policy response to sanitation management.

The forum will stream live on JoyNews (Facebook), NDPC Ghana (Facebook), and @ndpcghana (Twitter). Ideas, questions and comments on the theme may be sent to either of the social media handles or by Whatsapp to: 0540-960-315.
