SNV GHANA PAYS COURTESY CALL ON CHIEF DIRECTOR OF UPPER WEST REGIONAL COORDINATING COUNCIL<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

On July 22, 2025, the Country Director of SNV Netherlands Development Organization, Madam Barbara White Nkoala, led a high-powered delegation to pay a courtesy call on the Chief Director of the Upper West Regional Coordinating Council (RCC), Hajia Pognaa Fati Issaka Koray. The visit formed part of ongoing efforts to deepen collaboration for inclusive and sustainable development in the region, particularly in the sectors of agriculture and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH).<\/p>\n

Madam Nkoala expressed profound appreciation for the RCC\u2019s continued support in advancing SNV\u2019s flagship projects, notably the Healthy Future for All (HF4A)<\/strong>, Climate Adaptation<\/strong>, and Sustainable Sorghum<\/strong> initiatives. She highlighted significant outcomes recorded under these interventions in the Nandom and Lambussie Districts, including the provision of solar-powered water systems, improved health infrastructure, and gender-sensitive sanitation facilities in schools. These efforts have positively impacted over 22,000 beneficiaries, substantially enhancing access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene services.<\/p>\n

The Chief Director, Hajia Pognaa Fati Issaka Koray, commended SNV for its remarkable achievements in promoting public health and dignity, especially among women and children. She applauded the organization’s role in reducing open defecation and improving sanitation practices, particularly in the Lambussie and Nandom areas. She further encouraged SNV to consider scaling up its impactful interventions to other underserved districts across the Upper West Region.<\/p>\n

Reaffirming the RCC\u2019s readiness to facilitate broader stakeholder engagement, the Chief Director emphasized the importance of coordinated action to ensure sustainability and inclusive growth. \u201cThe Regional Coordinating Council remains a committed partner in driving development that reaches the most vulnerable,\u201d she noted, adding that strategic partnerships are vital to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).<\/p>\n

In response, Madam Nkoala reaffirmed SNV\u2019s commitment to embedding sustainable hygiene practices within local communities while working collaboratively with the RCC to support climate resilience, sustainable land use, and livelihoods enhancement.<\/p>\n

The visit concluded with a mutual pledge to strengthen cooperation and jointly pursue impactful, people-centered development that uplifts smallholder farmers, youth, women, and marginalized groups across the region.\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n
