WHO WE ARE
HOME
Global Communities has been operational in Ghana since 2007. Over the past years, we have expanded our operations from 9 poor urban communities in the Accra and Sekondi-Takoradi to thousands of communities in six regions in Ghana.
Operating out of 6 field offices in Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi, Ho and Tamale, Global Communities continues to build strong partnerships with communities, local NGOs and the private sector to touch and improve the lives of many Ghanaians through our comprehensive and multi-component project interventions.
Starting with urban slum improvements, our portfolio of projects have grown to include water, sanitation and hygiene, solid waste management, local government capacity building, municipal finance, agriculture, nutrition and livelihoods, youth vocational and entrepreneurial skill development.
USAID-Enhancing WASH Activity
The Enhancing WASH (En-WASH) Activity aims to facilitate access to and use of sustainable water, sanitation, and hygiene services as well as financing and governance in Northern Ghana. Employing a systems strengthening approach, successful implementation of E-WASH through September 2026, will result in:
- The Government of Ghana, through the Metropolitan/Municipal/District Assemblies (MMDAs), efficiently and effectively planning, budgeting, implementing, and monitoring water and sanitation services;
- The Government of Ghana, through MMDAs and other actors, improving the enabling environment for private sector participation in the WASH sector;
- Citizens adopting and sustaining improved WASH practices; and
- WASH service providers adopting improved management, operational and finance model products in target districts
Enhancing WASH anticipates 300,000 people will gain access to a basic sanitation service and 250,000 people will gain access to basic drinking water services.
In addition, E-WASH will support MMDAs to enable 70 percent of target communities to be certified as Open Defecation Free (ODF) and 60 percent of households to adopt and sustain improved WASH practices, including the transformation of gender roles and norms.
