The vice President of the Republic of Ghana, H.E. Alhaji Aliu Mahama yesterday, in Accra, launched the Ghana sanitation campaign and called on all stakeholders to see environmental sanitation as a key challenging issue which requires immediate attention. (…)
He called on public and private sector players, development allies, traditional rulers and the civil society to see the current sanitation problem as a national issue and deal with it as such. The campaign is under the theme: ‘Repackaging Sanitation for Accelerated National Development’.
The campaign organised by the Coalition of NGOs in Water and Sanitation (CONIWAS), in collaboration with WaterAid, Ghana, is to keep the momentum of the National Sanitation Programme.
The campaign involves lobbying politicians to place issues on sanitation, public rallies high on their agenda to draw attention to the benefits of clean environment. They will also lobby trade unions to take on politicians to commit them to sanitation.
