Speaking on behalf of the participating districts during the signing ceremony, the Chief Director of the Oti Regional Coordinating Council, Rev. Harry Nii Kwatie Owoo, expressed gratitude to World Vision Ghana for the partnership.
He said the collaboration demonstrates a shared commitment to improving public health and service delivery across the region.
“We are grateful to World Vision Ghana for this partnership, which will greatly support service delivery in the areas of water, health, and sanitation. The Regional Coordinating Council will ensure effective coordination, monitoring, and supervision so that all activities align with established service delivery standards,” he stated.
Representing World Vision Ghana, the WASH Programme Manager, Cephas Wedam, commended the ongoing efforts within the Oti Region and emphasised the importance of collaboration in achieving universal service coverage.
He said the goal of achieving universal WASH service coverage could only be realised through strong partnerships adding that “we are here to complement the work that the districts are already doing.”
Representatives of the district assemblies pledged to uphold the provisions of the MoU and ensure its successful implementation.
