BIDO Ghana, in partnership with WaterAid under the SIDA-funded CLIMB project engaged the Assembly on this activity in July and August 2026. The assessment reviewed the Assembly’s budgets and financial documents for 2025 and 2026 and analysed WASH budget allocations, releases and expenditure, as well as budget in-flows, with particular attention to health insurance retention funds and financing for WASH in healthcare facilities. The purpose was to generate evidence to support dialogue and advocacy for improved investment in WASH, particularly in health care facilities in the district.
The analysis has been completed, and a draft district WASH budget assessment report prepared. We are pleased to share the findings with the Assembly and other stakeholders for validation, so that the final report will be accurate and reflect the Assembly’s perspective.
A validation meeting was held with the following activities.
- Presention of key findings on the district’s WASH budget allocations, releases and expenditure;
- Validation of the data and findings, and clarification of any gaps or discrepancies;
- Discussion and refine of the proposed advocacy recommendations; and
- Agreement on practical steps to strengthen WASH financing, including for WASH in healthcare facilities, in the Assembly’s plans and budgets, particularly the 2027 Composite Budget.
