Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources
The Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources provides safe drinking water and adequate sanitation to all Ghanaians. It manages water infrastructure, reduces open defecation, and promotes hygiene education to improve public health outcomes.
What we do
The Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources delivers clean water and better sanitation across Ghana. Ghana Water Company Limited provides treated pipe-borne water to urban areas. The Community Water and Sanitation Agency extends water and sanitation infrastructure to rural and peri-urban communities. We run national campaigns to eliminate open defecation and improve hand-washing practices. Safe water and sanitation save lives — especially for children under five.
