AdSen Consult, simply called AdSen is a registered Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) based in Ho in the Volta Region. This organization was formed in 2005 to address WASH challenges in the rural areas in the Volta Region (now Volta and Oti) particularly, supporting households construct durable improved latrines using local materials available in the communities, and also building the capacities of community based groupings to enable them acquire the skills to operate and maintain their water and sanitation facilities. In 2007, the Organization was identified by Volta Regional Community Water and Sanitation Agency (VRCWSA) to become one of its Partner Organizations (POs) for the implementation of Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA) funded WASH activities in many communities in the Volta Region.
Therefore, from funds provided by VRCWSA, AdSen was able to implement WASH activities in over 400 communities in Volta and other regions in Ghana. Some of the WASH assignments carried out for VRCWSA and international NGOs included:
- Formation and Training of Water and Sanitation Management Teams (WSMTs)
- Promotion and construction of improved household latrines
- Implementation of School Hygiene Education Programs (SHEP)
- Supporting communities to put in place Water Safety Plans (WSP)
- Conducting of Female Leadership Training in WASH
- Piloting of CLTS concept in Volta Region
- Training in Child Protection and SGBV
On account of AdSen successful performance with VRCWSA, Plan International, Ghana invited AdSen to become its Partner Organization/Local NGO for the implementation of Child Protection, Sexual and Gender Based Violence, SHEP, and WASH Programs in the Northern, Volta and Oti Regions since 2010.
