REFLECTING ON MOLE SERIES 35: ADVANCING WATER, SANITATION, AND HYGIENE (#WASH) IN GHANA

 

The Mole Series 35 conference, held under the theme “Looking Back on SDG Six Implementation in Ghana,” brought together diverse and passionate voices united by one goal: to assess and strengthen efforts to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) — ensuring clean water and sanitation for all. As a proud member of the Coalition of NGOs in Water and Sanitation (CONIWAS), Future4Africa had the privilege of sharing the stage with a distinguished assembly of WASH sector actors, organizations, academics, investors, and other key stakeholders.

AN EYE-OPENING AND PURPOSEFUL GATHERING

Over the course of the event, the depth of discussions and shared knowledge was truly awe-inspiring. The Mole Series has always been a flagship gathering for the WASH community in Ghana, providing a platform to exchange insights, share challenges, and highlight successes. This year’s conference was no different. The dialogue ranged from innovative solutions to long-standing issues, the importance of community engagement, and strategies to accelerate progress as we approach the SDG target date of 2030.

Our team gained valuable insights from various panels and workshops, which underscored the achievements made so far and the areas needing more attention. It was particularly enlightening to witness the collaborative spirit that characterized each session, where ideas were not only shared but debated, refined, and prepared for implementation.

RENEWED COMMITMENT AND UNITED EFFORTS

Leaving the conference, we are invigorated with a renewed assurance of the need for collective action. The past few days have reaffirmed that sustainable change can only come when NGOs, governmental bodies, academics, and private sector players work hand in hand. The sense of purpose we experienced at Mole Series 35 strengthens our resolve to keep pushing forward, ensuring that the most vulnerable and marginalized populations are not overlooked.

At Future4Africa we are motivated to double down on our efforts and partnerships, focusing on initiatives that prioritize inclusive access to clean water and improved sanitation. The commitment from all participants, emphasized throughout the conference, is a beacon of hope that we can make significant strides in fulfilling the promise of SDG 6.

 

LOOKING AHEAD: NO ONE LEFT BEHIND

The theme, “Looking Back on SDG Six Implementation in Ghana,” serves as both a reflection and a call to action. While we celebrate progress, it is clear that the journey is far from over. We must continue to identify gaps, mobilize resources, and implement sustainable solutions that adapt to changing realities.

As we move forward, our NGO is determined to champion initiatives that address these challenges and collaborate with like-minded organizations to amplify impact. We recognize that achieving SDG 6 is not just about providing services but about creating resilient, self-sufficient communities that thrive.

We extend our gratitude to CONIWAS for organizing such a transformative event and to all the participants who enriched the discussions with their knowledge and passion. Future4Africa is committed to continuing the dialogue, sharing learnings, and putting plans into action to make water and sanitation a reality for every individual in Ghana.

As we look back on our progress, we are more determined than ever to keep forging ahead, one step at a time, toward a future where water, sanitation, and hygiene are accessible to all.
