Ghana’s Nationally Determined Contribution for the water sector re-examined

On 21st June 2018, the Minister for Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation (MESTI) organised a meeting on Ghana Nationally Determined Contribution (Gh-NDC) to the Paris Agreement at Paradise Hotel in Koforidua, Eastern Region.

The meeting was held following feedback on the INDC submitted earlier in 2016. In the present work, the identified strategies for implementation needed to be organised into “readiness to 2020”, “2021 – 2025” and “2026 – 2030”. The work was specific to the water sector, noting that all sectors would take their turns to review their commitments. About 15 participants were present, representing the Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources (MSWR), National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), Water Resources Commission (WRC), MESTI, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Zoomlion Company Limited and Ghana Country Water Partnership (CWP-Ghana).
