Safe Water Extension Improving Access for Underserved Coastal Communities

In Anloga District, SIGRA supported the extension of potable water from the Ghana Water Company system to three underserved communities: Alakope, Amemeliokope and Tsorgbakope. The intervention responds to water insecurity linked to saline intrusion, prolonged dry periods and wider climate pressures affecting coastal and inland communities.

Physical infrastructure, including pipelines, storage tanks and water points, has been completed and handed over to the communities. Water Management Committees were established and trained to support revenue collection, operations, maintenance and sustainability. The project is improving access to safe water and helping reduce the burden on women and girls who are often responsible for household water collection.
