International Water Management Institute (IWMI) seeks a candidate to supervise the operation and maintenance of the compost and briquette plants in Somanya, Ghana, under IWMI’s project “Creating and capturing value: Supporting enterprises for urban liquid and solid wastes recycling for food, energy and clean environment (CapVal)”.
Project Background
Ghana lacks sufficient safe and hygienic sanitation facilities. Many cities in Ghana lack functional sewer systems. Municipal wastewater and fecal sludge treatment plants, if they exist, are barely functioning. As a result, less than 10,000 m3/d of wastewater is being treated for the entire country while wastewater generation, which was about 760,000 m3/d in 2000, is now estimated to exceed 1,000,000 m3/d. In cities, a large proportion of black water is disposed of in septic tanks while grey water is released it into street drains, often accompanied by excreta. Collected fecal sludge is occasionally treated, but mostly dumped in the environment, waterways or on land.
Given the forgoing challenges, the project, CapVal, proposes three-resource recovery and reuse solutions that have a high potential to incentivize local sanitation planning and management in Ghana, reduce waste transport costs, support the lifetime of landfills, and reduce environmental impacts through the establishment of co-composting, briquette and wastewater-fed aquaculture businesses in two regions of Ghana.
All three interventions will be supported by appropriate capacity development of the private and public sectors.
