The agreement seeks to address persistent water access challenges and support efforts to improve sanitation and promote sustainable development.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, the District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr Stephen Baidoo, described the partnership as timely, noting that access to safe drinking water remained a major challenge for several communities in the district. He said the agreement would strengthen efforts to provide clean water and improve sanitation for residents.

The Western North Regional Minister, Mr Wilbert Petty Brentum, emphasised the importance of partnerships between government institutions, development organisations and private entities in addressing growing community needs.

He noted that such collaborations were essential to expanding access to basic social services, including safe drinking water.

Mr Robert Wamison, Associate Director for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) at World Vision Ghana, said the organisation aimed to deliver sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene services to children and communities in 23 targeted districts across 11 regions.

He added that World Vision Ghana's WASH business plan sought to provide safe water services to more than 700,000 people improve sanitation for 343,000 individuals and deliver dignified hygiene services to 535,000 people nationwide.

Mr Wamison called on stakeholders to support efforts to extend water and sanitation services to vulnerable communities. The partnership is expected to contribute to improved access to safe drinking water and better sanitation as the Assembly works towards sustainable development.
