James Gunu, has emphasized the need for communities to adopt sustainability as a core value in protecting and maintaining government projects. He made the call at the commissioning of 18 water systems serving 35 localities across the Ho West, Ho Municipal, Adaklu, and Agotime Ziope Districts under the Ghana\u2013Spain Debt Swap for Development Programme (DSDP), in the Volta Region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Addressing a large gathering of chiefs, opinion leaders, and residents, Hon. Gunu reaffirmed government\u2019s determination to ensure that no project in the region is left abandoned. He revealed that beginning November 2025, the Volta Regional Coordinating Council (VRCC), in partnership with the Regional House of Chiefs and other key stakeholders, will embark on a comprehensive project tracking exercise to assess progress on all ongoing and stalled development projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Minister applauded the contractors for their diligence and resilience in overcoming challenges to deliver quality work. He also expressed appreciation to the Government and people of Spain, and in particular the Spanish Ambassador to Ghana, for their sustained partnership in promoting access to safe water in Ghana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a speech marked by cultural and spiritual reflection, Hon. Gunu underscored the central role of water in Ghanaian life and faith traditions, noting that water symbolizes purity, hospitality, and renewal across communities. \u201cIn our traditions, before a visitor is greeted, he is offered water. In our religions, whether Christian, Muslim, or Traditionalist, water is sacred for cleansing, blessing, and rebirth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, the Spanish Ambassador to Ghana, His Excellency \u00c1ngel Lossada, described the project as a symbol of friendship and cooperation between Spain and Ghana, emphasizing that the ultimate beneficiaries are the children and families whose lives will be transformed by access to clean water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Regional Director of the Community Water and Sanitation Agency (CWSA), Mr. Sylvester Eyramh, praised the project\u2019s successful execution under the Ghana\u2013Spain Debt Swap for Development Programme while commending all partners for their commitment to achieving SDG 6 \u2013 Clean Water and Sanitation for All.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The District Chief Executive for Ho West, Hon. Prosper Francis Dussey, who hosted the event, expressed gratitude to the Spanish Government and the implementing partners for their collaboration and pledged the support of the beneficiary communities to protect the facilities for long-term use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The commissioning event marked a major step toward improving access to safe and reliable water supply in rural communities within the Volta Region reaffirming the Regional Minister\u2019s message that sustainability must become a community culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped
