Denmark is mobilizing support from other European Union (EU) member states to enhance water access in Northern Ghana, Danish Ambassador to Ghana Tom Nørring has announced.

Speaking at a stakeholder meeting in Accra with Ghana Water Limited and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Ambassador Nørring emphasized the importance of a collective approach to addressing water scarcity in the region.

“This mission is not Denmark's alone. We will be bringing other EU member countries on board to join this initiative,” he stated.

Denmark’s Commitment to Water Access
Denmark has already committed GH₵1 million this year to improve access to clean water in Bolgatanga and Wa, a move set to benefit over 10,000 residents.

The initiative aligns with Denmark’s broader strategy, launched in August 2024, to prioritize water solutions in Africa and strengthen sustainable water management.

To ensure a lasting impact, Danish water treatment company Alumichem will collaborate with local authorities to implement advanced water purification solutions.

“We’ve worked with Alumichem in the past, alongside local authorities here in Ghana, to build highly efficient and effective water treatment facilities,” Ambassador Nørring noted.

Expanding the Initiative with EU Partners
Denmark has been a key player in global water initiatives, particularly in Africa, with the goal of doubling the export of Danish water technology by 2030.

By bringing in additional EU partners, the project seeks to expand its reach and provide long-term solutions to water challenges in underserved communities across Northern Ghana.
