Partnerships in sanitation service management and infrastructure provision in Kumasi, Ghana
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:10 authored by Kwabena B. Nyarko, Olivia Bushell, Sampson Oduro-KwartengThis paper investigates the potentials of the private sector in the development and management of sanitation infrastructure and services within three Sub metros in the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA). A case study approach was used and data on public toilets under Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) and franchise management were collected. Results showed that users of BOT facilities were generally satisfied with the services they receive but the KMA-owned toilets under franchised management receive low patronage because of the poor management and political interference. Some factors plaguing the partnership include mistrust between the partners, political interference and socio-cultural behaviour of the users.
