The objective of the GAMA SW project is to increase access to improved sanitation and improved water supply in the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA), with emphasis on Low Income Urban Communities (LIUCs), and to strengthen management of environmental sanitation across the GAMA.

• The population of the GAMA in general, who will benefit from improved planning, implementation and management of environmental sanitation services and reduced pollution.
The project has been implemented for three 3 years and has about two more years to close. During midterm review of the project, it was recommended to fast track and scale up the project implementation and results by engaging eleven (11) Assistant Engineers/Project officers to support the MMAs in the delivery of household toilets which is a key component of the project.
