Number of people in target areas with access to improved water supply and sanitation as a result of USG assistance (PMP No. 1) The Ghana WASH Project made great strides in catching up to the water provision deliverables in Year 2. The project launched nine different procurements to provide boreholes, hand-dug xxxxx fitted with pumps, small town pipe systems, surface water treatment kiosks and rainwater and potable water storage systems. The completion of these facilities will together provide access to potable water for 17,100 people in the project target communities. To date, 7,050 people in 29 communities across four regions have access to potable water. This is as a result of the completion of 18 boreholes and 11 hand- dug xxxxx in the target communities. Given the current pace of work in the construction of improved water facilities, the project will meet the FY2011 target by end of December 2011 and also achieve the full year 3 target by end of May 2012. The table below shows the project status with respect to providing water for people in target communities.
