The development objectives of the Greater Accra Urban Resilience and Integrated Development Project for Ghana are to: (1) strengthen flood and solid waste management; and (2) improve the living conditions of the most vulnerable communities in the Odaw Basin in the Greater Accra region. Some of the negative impacts include: (i) equipment and machinery breakdown; (ii) accidents related to slips, trips and falls, and piercing of workers; (iii) leachate generation from rainfall infiltration; (iv) dust from tipping and stockpiling of capping materials; (v) sexual abuse and harassment; (vi) reckless driving; and (vii) emissions. Some of the mitigation measures include: (i) establishing and functioning security post; (ii) use of safety boots and protective gloves; (iii) levelling and capping operations would be done in four sections; (iv) covering of stockpiled capping materials; (v) filing of all cases of human rights abuses; (vi) provision of contact number for reckless driving on the haulage trucks; and (vii) covering of trucks in transit with tarpaulins.
