The Coca-Cola Africa Foundation, USAID, and Care International partnered together on a 3-year initiative to improve access to safe drinking water and sanitation services in the Tano River Basin border area between Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire. The project supported the sustainable use and management of the River Basin. Project activities included developing community water action plans, constructing boreholes and latrine blocks, forming and training water and sanitation committees, establishing community nurseries, and fostering co-operation between Ghanaian and Ivorian water management bodies on the sustainable use of the shared waters. The programme is expected to promote efficient and sustainable productive use of water to protect the environment and to provide economic benefits to communities in the basin. It would also increase access to community water supply and sanitation services, as well as foster improved behaviours in sanitation and hygiene for positive health impacts.
