Madam Virginia Palmer, U.S. Ambassador to Ghana, in her remarks said: \u201cI am pleased to announce just over 1.1 million cedis to assist those affected by the flooding in the Volta Region. We are working with the World Food Program to assist those most in need.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Statement said the USAID through the USAID\/Enhancing Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (En-WASH) project, had provided chlorine concentrate for disinfection of communal latrines and drainage canals amongst others.<\/p>\n

This was done in collaboration with the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) and the local governments.<\/p>\n

\u201cUSAID also provided local residents with 175,000 tablets of Aqua tabs for the treatment and purification of 3.5 million liters of drinking water to prevent the outbreak of water-borne diseases,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

The United States is Ghana\u2019s largest bilateral development partner.<\/p>\n

In 2022, the U.S. bilateral assistance totaled over $150 million dedicated to supporting health, economic growth and agriculture, education, governance, and security.<\/p>\n
