Water Sector Rehabilitation Project (Area B)
Country: Ghana
Project period: 1991 - 1997
Client: Ghana Water and Sewerage Corporation (GWSC)
Investment amount: USD 45,000,000
Description:
35 water supply schemes (Area A and Area B) were rehabilitated and extended under this World Bank project. The schemes needed urgent replacement of electro-mechanical equipment and rehabilitation of civil structures. Comprehensive planning studies were carried out for all 20 water works, including groundwater studies and hydro-geological investigations, to determine the long run least cost rehabilitation solutions. This was followed by detailed design of all systems, preparation of tender documents and construction supervision. Construction works were co-financed by three different donors. This required special inputs and flexibility, to satisfy each of them regarding their special financing and administrative conditions.
