The Government of Ghana has an ambition to make water, sanitation and hygiene services universally accessible for all people resident in Ghana, and to manage water resources for multiple purposes thereby contributing the Sustainable Development Goal 6. However, the Joint Monitoring Programme 2017 report shows that the country has made slow progress towards the realization of this goal. The national population with access to safely managed water is 27%, whilst access to basic sanitation is 14%. There is no estimate available for access to safely managed sanitation. The situation in the Asutifi North District is not different. An estimated 3% of the district population has access to safely managed drinking water whilst only 23% have access to basic sanitation. To accelerate the rate of progress, new thinking, approaches, and methods as well as strong local and national governmental institutions and leadership are key to advancing toward the goal. The Asutifi North District therefore presents a good case to advance the realization of the aspirations of a WASH Master Plan that has been prepared collectively with the District and other Hilton grantee partners to achieve SDG 6 in the District. Additionally, the plan will enable the District to better coordinate and ensure development partners align their efforts to maximise efforts and avoid duplication. The plan will provide the basis for tracking progress towards the realization of the WASH vision of the District.

We want to demonstrate what it takes to reach full WASH coverage in a district through the collective efforts, driven by the District Assembly, we will progressively advance in:

Coordinating stakeholders' efforts towards implementation of the master plan and alignment with national policies and processes.
Strengthening the District's capacity for delivering the WASH goals needed to realize the 2030 vision. · Building CSOs capacities to undertake advocacy in response to District WASH challenges and enhance WASH service delivery and associated water resource management.
Pooling partner resources together and attracting additional funding to finance the implementation of the master plan.
Documenting best practices, promising solutions and approaches and sharing to support policy uptake and scale-up.
