Ghana: Council of State Calls for Joint Action to Curb Accra Flooding

The Council of State has called for stronger inter-agency collaboration to tackle illegal developments, poor sanitation and flooding in parts of the Greater Accra Region

The Council said the recent floods had brought to the fore long-standing challenges, including illegal refuse dumping, unauthorised construction on waterways and inadequate drainage infrastructure.

It noted that addressing these issues would require coordinated action beyond the efforts of metropolitan and municipal assemblies.
