develop the digital waste map of drains in the

City of Accra, which is yet to be launched.

CHALLENGE

Lack of commitment on the part of most

team members to the project as a result of

their work demands, they do not have enough

time to share.

Inadequate funds to facilitate the project


26/32

Way Forward

The way forward is to launch our digital waste

map on drains to educate the public on the

effect of choked drains with waste.

Also, we are going to intensify our fund raising

drive by seeking for more sponsorship and

partner other organizations so that we can

complete our project of clearing waste fromdrains in the entire country by the end of

2013.

Opportunities

the President of Ghana has directed all

Metropolitan , Municipal and Districts in

collaboration with Zoom Alliance to clear

waste in their various communities.

Therefore, a National Sanitation Taskforce has

been inaugurated by the President in

pursuance to achieve a clean Ghana.


28/32

Parliament of Ghana has approved a budgetfor the Sanitary Sewer and Storm water

Drainage Alleviation Project by the AMA. The

facility is for the improvement of drainage andsewer systems in the Accra metropolis.

From the above mentioned, Lets Clean Ghana

has the opportunity to partner with theNational Sanitation Task Force and AMA to

achieve its objective of free waste drains.


29/32

Expectations

We expect that all African countries will

concentrate on the resources available in their

country to marshal efforts in ensuring a clean

environment.

Member countries should be proactive in

soliciting for more partnerships from

corporate institutions and other NGOs in theirvarious countries for the clean-up projects.
