World Vision Ghana Launches $51.7M WASH Business Plan
World Vision Ghana (WVG), a Christian non-governmental organization in Ghana focused on relief, development, and advocacy, has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to collaborating with the government and various partners to achieve universal access to safe Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) services across the country.
According to its National Director, Dr. Tinah Mukunda, the renewed commitment forms part of a broader, accelerated effort to meet the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) by 2030.
Addressing a cross-section of WASH sector practitioners during the official launch of its 2026-2030 WASH Business Plan and Universal WASH Service Coverage worth $51.7 million in Accra on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, Dr. Mukunda emphasized the need for strengthened collaboration to address persistent disparities in access, particularly in rural and peri-urban areas.

A New WASH business plan,
WVG’s new WASH business plan aims to reach an additional 743,000 children and their families with sustainable water solutions by 2032.
According to the National Director of WVG, the $51.7 million investment plan is a bold roadmap toward achieving universal service coverage and enhancing the quality of life for vulnerable communities.
The strategy focuses on several key areas:
Expanding and maintaining reliable water supply infrastructure in underserved areas, leveraging innovations like solar-powered mechanised water systems.
Promoting sanitation and hygiene behaviour change campaigns to ensure the long-term effectiveness of infrastructure projects.
Building local capacity to manage and sustain WASH facilities, fostering community ownership.
Strengthening accountability and inclusion in WASH programming to leave no one behind.
Significant Progress and Future Challenges
Over the past decade, WVG’s efforts have provided access to safe drinking water for over 793,000 people through the completion of numerous boreholes and mechanised water systems.
The organization has also played a crucial role in the national effort to combat diseases related to poor sanitation and hygiene.
Mr. Kenneth Gilbert Adjei, Minister for Works, Housing, and Water Resources
In his address, the Minister for Works, Housing, and Water Resources, Mr. Kenneth Gilbert Adjei, admitted that even though Ghana has made key progress over the years, significant challenges remain.
He explained that while national access to basic water has risen to an estimated 90% and basic sanitation to 32%, climate change and illegal mining (“galamsey”) continue to threaten water sources.
“What matters now is our collective effort to ensure access to safe, reliable, and affordable water services for all communities,” said the Minister for Works and Housing, urging stakeholders to focus on effective service delivery and collaboration.
