    INVITATION FOR BIDS
    EXPANSION OF BONGO WATER SYSTEM IN BONGO DISTRICT.
     
    WaterAid Ghana (WAG) in collaboration with the Zochonis Charitable Trust is implementing the Sustainable Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Services at Scale Project in the Bongo District of the Upper East Region. WAG has been supporting the improvement of WASH service in the Bongo District for over two decades. WAG’s current projects in the district which are focused on strengthening WASH systems and improving sanitation and hygiene services set the grounds for the execution of the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Services at Scale (WASH-SS) project to improve access to safe water in the district. The WASH-SS project will allow WaterAid and its partners to work innovatively with the Bongo District Assembly (Bongo DA), and Community Water and Sanitation Agency (CWSA) which are mandated by law to oversee the provision of safe water in urban, peri-urban, and rural communities. The project’s overall outcome is to promote economic development in rural Ghana through the provision of water services at scale. Water will be supplied to the people of Bongo and its peripheral communities via the mechanization of high-yielding boreholes in fluoride-free zones.
