Accra is the administrative, political and commercial capital of Ghana. Providing water and sanitation services to all in a fast growing, largely unplanned city like Accra and managing water in an efficient and integrated way, is a huge challenge. This document presents the results of the contribution of the Accra Learning Alliance, within the framework of the SWITCH project to the development of a strategic plan for integrated urban water management for the city of Accra to address this challenge. This takes the form of the definition of a vision for water management and water related services in the city of Accra of the future, a comprehensive situational analysis, and strategic directions for going from the current situation towards the vision.
