Being the initiative of ANAM as the backbone of water and sanitation programme in the Asutifi North, the project is partnered by the World Vision International Ghana, IRC Ghana, Aquaya Institute, Safe Water Network, Netcentric Campaign.

The master plan implementation with ongoing monitoring, community engagement and cross-sector collaboration is strategic with funders made up of Conrad N. Hilton Foundation and local government support

This will have a significant impact on the community and the economy as a whole in the area of health and productivity since improved water access reduces waterborne disease risk and supports school and work attendance

Gender and time savings  is assured since less time is will be spent by women and girls in collecting water leading to freeing time for education and livelihood activities leading to robust water and sanitation systems strengthen resilience against droughts and health shocks

With strong partnerships and a clear master plan, the district is poised to turn water safety and basic sanitation into tangible quality-of-life gains for residents.
