Saha Global and the Ministry of Works, Housing and Water Resources in collaboration with Resource Centre Network, are hosting a national session on:
Driving Access and Equity in Water: Enabling Environment for Last-Mile Communities in Ghana
This session will discuss insights from Saha Global’s last mile service delivery approach with a specific emphasis on the financial challenges and realities of serving small, scattered, and hard to reach rural communities in Ghana. The Ministry will then lead a workshop-style discussion session to explore innovative and practical financing mechanisms that can support consistent safe water delivery to last mile communities.
The session aims to advocate for and support the Ministry in developing frameworks that ensure equitable access to safe water for all, leaving no one behind.
Join sector professionals for a vibrant discourse.
