The Framework was developed through a consultative process involving desk review, stakeholder interviews, and field consultations to ensure that it reflects both sector evidence and implementation realities.
This Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Framework for the Ahafo Region has been developed to strengthen the management, reliability, and sustainability of rural and small-town water supply schemes. It responds to persistent challenges in system functionality, service reliability, and institutional coordination, and aligns with national policy directives from the Ministry of Works, Housing and Water Resources (MWHWR), the Community Water and Sanitation Agency (CWSA), and the Ghana Water Policy. The document guides District Assemblies, Water and Sanitation Management Teams (WSMTs), Area and Regional Water and Sanitation Directorates, and other stakeholders to ensure that water supply systems are effectively operated, maintained, and supported throughout their life cycle.
