Denmark is mobilizing support from other European Union (EU) member countries to expand its efforts in improving 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, Ambassador Nørring emphasized the need for a collective approach to tackling 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 has already committed GH₵1 million this year to enhance access to clean water in Bolgatanga and Wa, a move expected to benefit over 10,000 residents.

The initiative is part of Denmark’s broader strategy, launched last August, to prioritize water solutions in Africa.

To ensure sustainable impact, the 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,” the ambassador added.

Denmark has long supported 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 aims to expand its reach and provide lasting solutions to water challenges in underserved communities across Northern Ghana.
