Ghana’s Community Water and Sanitation Agency (CWSA) has a big task in front of them: Provide safe water to all the rural communities and small towns across the country.
That kind of impact can’t happen without teamwork. That is why CWSA is creating a “Safe Water Culture” to emphasize that everyone has a role to play in safe water delivery.
As part of this effort, GWC provided training to 25 CWSA staff from across Ghana. This training was delivered in partnership with Safe Water Network Ghana, which supplied the content, and facilitated with the support of CAWST.
During the week-long training, participants worked together to perform risk assessments and water quality tests. They also went through a realistic investigation into the causes of water contamination.
By the end of the training, 85% of participants said they had a plan to apply their learning. They will bring these new skills back to their communities, causing a ripple of change across the country.
I have attended workshops but this of it kind. The content and participation nature leaves everyone walking home with additional information and knowledge. The introduction of CAWST platform is an additional opportunity to continue learning.
Thanks so much for your great feedback! We’re happy to hear the training went so well.
This was a very insightful training, it was well organized and it had a lot of impact. Personally, I learned a lot about multi barrier approach to safe water production and delivery, I also got to understand that everyone has a role to play and it is imperative to develop a safe water culture.
That is great to hear! We are glad that you learned so much from the training. Thank you for this encouraging comment.
I was privileged to be part of the training and I learned quite a lot to enable me to improve in my work and help in building a Safe Water Culture. The training was very interactive, and I liked the organization.
