GHANA'S MDG 7
Even though national coverage for improved sanitation has increased from 4% in 1993 to 12.4% in 2008, reducing the proportion of the population without access to improved sanitation will reach 21.2% by 2015 instead of 52%, while the proportion of urban population with access to improved sanitation will be 23.4% instead of 55% by 2015. In the rural areas, only 20.6% would have access to improved sanitation instead of 50.5%.
From the statistics, it is clear that Ghana will not be able to achieve its Millennium Development Goal 7. The situation is bad but not completely hopeless. We as a nation can at least bridge the gap through recycling.
