What Are Sanitation Services in Accra?

"Sanitation services" covers a broad range of waste management activities. In the Accra context, this primarily includes:

Why Sanitation Matters in Accra

Accra's sanitation challenges are well documented. Only a small part of the city is connected to a sewer network, so most homes and businesses in Greater Accra rely on on-site systems — septic tanks, biodigesters, pit latrines and cesspits.

This means that the majority of Accra's residents and businesses are entirely dependent on private sanitation companies to keep their waste systems functioning. Poor sanitation leads to:

• Waterborne disease outbreaks (cholera, typhoid)
• Groundwater and soil contamination
• Property damage from sewage backup
• Fines and penalties from Ghana EPA and Metropolitan Assemblies
• Reputational damage for schools, hotels, and commercial facilities
