The public sector review aims at
supporting the Government of Ghana (GoG) in enhancing
effectiveness and efficiency in the rural and semi-urban
water and sanitation sub-sectors on the basis of an analysis
of trends in sector development over the period 2001 to
2006. The present report provides a number of conclusions
and recommendations that have been discussed with national
stakeholders at a final workshop. On this basis a first
draft of an action plan for moving towards a sector-wide
(programme) approach (SWAP) in the sector has been
formulated. Drinking water constitutes a priority in the
Ghana poverty reduction strategy. Budgetary allocations to
the rural water sub-sector have increased in real terms by
more than three times over the past six years 2001-2006. On
the whole, budgetary allocations to the sector increased by
36 percent in real terms per year over the observed period
2001-2006 due to increases in donor aid by an annual average
of 68 percent in real terms per year. However, the level of
domestic funding declined on average per year by 7 percent
in real terms. Then, about 93 percent of the activities are
funded by Development Partners. The relatively low GoG
fiscal commitment is increasingly being questioned by
Development Partners and it is being argued that GoG funding
should at least cover a reasonable funding level of the
government sector institutions. Finally, achieving the
objectives for the sub-sector requires that organizational
strengthening and capacity building is implemented within
sector institutions, but especially at the district assembly
(DA) level. The strengthening of the Water Directorate (WD)
is vital in order to provide an adequate framework that will
be in a position to spearhead the sector development and in
particular the emergence of SWAP in the water supply sector.
Community Water and Sanitation Agency (CWSA) plays an
important role to ensure water delivery in an environment
with relatively weak capacity at DA but needs to adjust its
organizational structure and core functions to the
decentralization process. |
