Dry season, power challenges cause of water shortages – GWCL LISTEN
MAR 17, 2021
The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) has admitted to distribution challenges that have led to some communities being without water.
Its Managing Director, Clifford Braimah, said the company is currently struggling with the combined factors of the dry season and high demand.
“Demand has increased, and you have the same quantity of supply. Ultimately, if you share it among the population, the capita will go down and that is one of the reasons,” he said.
Mr. Braimah also blamed their issues on power challenges saying it is a “very big problem”.
The World Bank Board of Executive Directors has approved US$125 million from the International Development Association (IDA), as an additional funding for the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area Sanitation and Water Project (GAMA SWP).
This additional financing will support Ghana’s effort to reach 550,000 people in low income urban communities of the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA) and the Greater Kumasi Metropolitan Area (GKMA) with improved sanitation and water supply services.
This was made known in a press statement issued by the World Bank, dated Tuesday, September 22, 2020.
“Providing equitable access to safe and improved water supply and sanitation services is essential to improve people’s lives particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through this project, we are committed to provide better access to water and sanitation to the most vulnerable, therefore improving lives and reducing poverty,” Pierre Laporte, World Bank Country Director for Ghana

Dear Editor, the French Embassy in Ghana has started a french learning programme on one of our country’s television stations, GHOne, that is very educative and so I encourage children to watch it.
Dubbed, Touch of France Show, it involves the teaching of the French language and also learning about the country, France.
The host, who is the Ambassador, makes the teaching of the language so practical, often using common expressions used in everyday conversations as examples and then tell how they are said in french.
