A case for entrusting public sector waste management to the Ghana Armed Forces

Ghana’s sanitation crisis has persisted for decades despite substantial public expenditure, numerous policy initiatives, and repeated nationwide clean-up campaigns. Across our cities and municipalities, public spaces remain littered with waste, drains are routinely choked with plastic, and government institutions often struggle to maintain basic environmental standards. The consequences are severe: perennial flooding, sanitation-related diseases, environmental degradation, and significant economic losses.

Floods ravaged Ghana could generate GH¢556 in economic benefits for every GH¢1 invested in sanitation

Every cedi invested in improving Ghana's waste management and sanitation systems could generate as much as GH¢556 in annual economic benefits if the country increases spending to levels recommended for lower-middle-income economies, according to a new policy brief by the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER). The study, titled Waste or Wealth? The Economic Returns to Sanitation Investment in Ghana, argues that sanitation should be viewed as a high-return economic investment rather than merely an environmental or public health obligation.
