Poor sanitation alone accounts for about 700,000 child deaths from diarrhoea each year. Chronic diarrhoea can hinder child development by impeding the absorption of essential nutrients and reducing the effectiveness of life-saving vaccines.

It is in view of this vein that Chair Person of the Coalition of NGOs in Water and Sanitation (CONIWAS), Mrs. Maria Don-Chebe, is of the view that solving the sanitation challenge in the developing part of the world of which Ghana is no exception, will require new innovations that are deployable on a large-scale, especially in highly populated areas.

Welcoming participants to the 27th edition of the Mole Conference at Big Ada in the Greater Accra Region, Mrs. Don-Chebe charged players in the WASH sector to come out with innovative and cost effective designs of WASH products and services to increase access to persons with disabilities and children.

She said the fight to end sanitation and poverty was far from over.

The CONIWAS chair, however, expressed delight that stakeholders in this year’s Mole Conference would be dilating on issues that would directly address the challenges, share and learn the practical success stories that are working very well around sanitation financing, WASH in schools and health facilities and the quest to achieve open defecation free status.

Mrs. Don-Chebe said there was the need also for participants to share superior ideas on how to effectively build the capacities of WASH sector actors to carry out their advocacy roles effectively as well as track the WASH sector performance.

She said CONIWAS will continue to partner with all stakeholders in the WASH sector, including the government to ensure that there is a vibrant WASH sector in Ghana which will work towards achieving the much desired SDGs on water and sanitation for all.
