No Components Table Name Component 1 - Provision of environmental sanitation and water supply services:(Cost $46.80 M) Component 2 – Improvement and expansion of the water distribution network:(Cost $48.10 M) Component 3 – Planning, improvement & expansion of Environmental Sanitation Services:(Cost $32.90 M) Component 4 – Institutional Strengthening:(Cost $22.20 M) Physical and Price Contingencies Repayment of PPF Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions There has been progress in project implementation since the last mission. A summary of status and key decisions under specific components over the reporting period is provided below. Sub-Component 1a) Increasing Access to Household Sanitation. The project has supported the construction of about 2,000 additional household toilets since the last ISR. This brought the total number of household toilets to over 27,000, serving over 217,000 people at the end of January 2020. 1b) Institutional Sanitation Component. The project is supporting the construction of 301 new facilities and rehabilitating 105 (at 260 different schools). The facilities include separate stalls for boys and girls that are accessible for people with disabilities and changing rooms for girls, and 3/29/2020 Page 1 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report GH-GAMA Sanitation and Water Project (P119063) separate stalls for teachers. A total of 339 facilities have been completed and handed over as of 31 January 2020. Construction of all the remaining facilities is expected to be completed by May 2020. The issues relating to Operation and Maintenance strategies and the Facilities Management Plans are being mitigated through mix of measures including hiring of Janitors. In some of the Metropolitan Municipality Assemblies (MMAs), use of the completed facilities is delayed because of the slow pace of establishing the O&M system. The Ministries of Sanitation and Education are holding high-level discussions to set up sustainable mechanism for funding O&M. Component 2 Improvement and Expansion of the Water Distribution Network. The objective of this component, implemented by Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL), is to improve and expand the water distribution network in GAMA to provide piped water to an estimated 250,000 people living in low income communities. The end target was to provide 3,500 new service connections through construction of about 150 km of distribution network. GWCL has exceeded all the targets. To date a total of more than 367,000 people are provided access to water supply through 281 km of distribution pipelines and 10,200 new service connections. In addition, 60 community standpipes have been constructed in low income communities. Because of the increase in demand for the household connections and to ensure the project meets the goal of SDG 6 for water, the construction of community standpipes was stopped, and more house connections have been provided. Component 3 Planning, Improvement and Expansion of GAMA-wide Environmental Sanitation Services. The objective of this component is to develop integrated GAMA-wide plans for environmental sanitation, focusing mainly on liquid waste management and to finance critical elements to improve collection, treatment, and disposal of wastewater and septic sludge. Progress on key intermediate results are detailed below. a) Integrated Master Plan for Drainage, Sanitation and Solid Waste Management. The master plan preparation is underway and after experiencing delay, is expected to be completed before project closing. The outputs of the master plans are expected to contribute significantly to broader integrated environmental sanitation sector planning for GAMA. b) Liquid Waste Assessment and Proposed Investments. This activity seeks to address the need for improvement of fecal sludge management in GAMA. Preliminary designs were prepared to expand the existing simplified sewerage systems at Ashaiman and Bankuman. Implementation of these activities are now commencing after the extension of the project closing date by seven months was granted. c) Priority Drainage Intervention to alleviate flood risk. The project is financing some critical drainage works in several Metropolitan and Municipal Assemblies (MMAs) in GAMA to try to alleviate some of the heavy floods that occur in heavy rains. However, dealing with the flood management situation in Accra requires mobilization of significant resources and an integrated approach to addressing the problem, beyond the confines of the GAMA Project. The Sakumono, Mallam, Agbogba, Gbawe have been completed. The Kaneshie 1st light drains/culverts construction is almost completed. There is the need to ensure good maintenance practices at all the drain sites. Component 4 Institutional Strengthening. This component is supporting capacity building towards management of water and sanitation service delivery, Technical Assistance to metropolitan municipal assemblies (MMAs) and national level institutions, support for development of social accountability mechanisms, and support to the Ministry for Sanitation and Water with ongoing sector initiatives, including technical assistance to support dialogue on institutional reforms and broader nation-wide sanitation promotion activities, as well as Behavior Change initiatives. Some key achievements were noted under the Behavior Change Communication (BCC) sub-component, including the communication strategies and engagement with communities and households to facilitate the delivery of the household toilets. The ESICOME mobile Applications (ESICApps), which is digitizing the data collection for monitoring environmental sanitation services has been launched.
