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.
