A knowledge resource centre to support learning and coordination of activities in the Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sector in Ghana recently inaugurated its new office in Accra. WASH House is host to eight sector non-governmental organizations (NGOs), projects and initiatives working in the WASH sector. The organizations are TREND Group, IRC’s West Africa Regional Programme (WARP), Tripartite Partnership (TPP) Project, WASHCost Project, SWITCH Project, Triple-S project, Safi Sana Ghana and the Resource Centre Network (RCN) secretariat. These organizations and projects have a common vision of a dynamic knowledge-driven WASH sector providing improved and sustainable pro-poor services. “ The networks and coordination between the eight organizations had already created a lot of vibrancy in the WASH sector” Mr. Minta Aboagye, Director of Water, MWRWH. “The story of the WASH House will not be complete without a mention of the role of sector ministries, CWSA, KNUST, WaterAid, CONIWAS and WRI; but more especially IRC who have provided technical/financial support throughout the process” Mr. Eugene Larbi, Managing Director, TREND Group “The WASH house hoped to be a force for change in terms of knowledge sharing and leaning about the water, sanitation and hygiene sectors in Ghana” Dr. Patrick Moriarty, IRC/WARP.
