Urban areas in Ghana face unprecedented challenges including rising income disparities and increased vulnerability to disaster and climate change impacts. Parts of the Tano region, for example, have been subjected to perennial flooding occasioned by, poor sanitation and drainage infrastructure, overcrowded spaces, and weak regulatory enforcement with respect to sanitation, drainage, and waste management. To address these issues, the Government of Ghana in collaboration with the World Bank introduced the Ghana Flood and Disaster Management Project
(GFDMP) in December 2020. The objective was to strengthen flood and solid waste management in the Tano region, particularly, in communities within the Tano River basin, improve the living conditions of the most vulnerable communities in the Tano basin, and foster adaptation of the flood management infrastructure to climate change in the Tano Region. The Ministry of Flood and Disaster Management has put in place several interventions to improve flood management and disaster prevention. These include acclimate-resilient drainage and flood mitigation measures, solid waste management capacity improvement, and participatory upgrade of targeted low-prone Low-Income Communities and emergency response units. Structural measures to mitigate flood impacts in the Tano River Basin would be developed, non-structural measures to improve flood warning and preparedness to be deployed, reduce the amount of solid waste flowing into the Tano channel, implement Community-based solid waste management interventions and community campaigns and improve physical planning and coordination in the Tano River Basin.
A total of US$45.25 million would be spent on the resilient drainage and flood mitigation measures, US$30.65 million on Solid Waste Management Capacity Improvements, US$19.85 million on Participatory Upgrading of Targeted Flood Prone Low-Income Communities and physical planning support whilst US$4.25 million would be required for institutional strengthening, capacity building, supervision, monitoring and evaluation, and project management.
