Abstract | Triple-S Ghana, with the overall goals of improving sustainability of rural water services and greater sector harmonization, has identified the project implementation process as a critical area that can have an impact on long-term sustainability either positively or negatively depending on how the project is implemented. Consequently, the project has carried out a review of how the project cycle has been implemented across Ghana and across different projects to assess the relevance of the phases of the cycle, how it has been implemented across projects and the impact on long-term sustainability. This report outlines the process for the review, highlight issues that need to be addressed in terms of post-project operation and maintenance and make recommendations for improving the implementation of the cycle towards long-term sustainability. |
