SNV Provides Vital Water Facility in Builsa South to Support Pastoral Mobility Under MOPPS Project

WEISI, GHANA – October 29, 2025 – In a significant boost to pastoral communities, SNV Netherlands Development Organisation commissioned a new water facility in Weisi, a community in the Builsa South District of Ghana's Upper East Region. This initiative falls under the Peaceful Cross-Border Pastoral Mobility and Social Stability in the Sahel (MOPPS) project, aimed at enhancing the resilience of pastoralists facing climate change and resource scarcity.

The MOPPS project, a collaboration between SNV, RBM, APESS, ROPPA, Rural Hub, and CARE Denmark, is funded by Sida, SDC, and Danida. It tackles challenges faced by Sahel pastoral communities, where demographic growth, climate change, and limited agricultural productivity strain resources.

Weisi is a crucial destination for pastoralists migrating to Ghana for short stays. The new water facility will provide a reliable source for both livestock and the local community, easing tensions over access and promoting peaceful co-existence.

During the commissioning ceremony on October 29, 2025, Naab Raphael Abuntori Apunwen, Chief of the Weisi Traditional Area, expressed gratitude: "This is not only a water facility but a source that will unite us as a community." He assured stakeholders that the community would safeguard the facility through a dedicated management committee.

Hon. Anne Musah-Akanko, the District Chief Executive, emphasized the government's commitment to creating an enabling environment for farmers and livestock Producers. "Access to water remains a pillar for both the community and pastoralists since water is life," she stated, highlighting the facility's importance for peace and development.

The MOPPS project aims to improve cross-border collaboration, promote sustainable resource management, and enhance social cohesion in the Sahel region. The Weisi water facility represents a concrete step towards these goals, offering a sustainable solution to water scarcity and fostering a more secure and prosperous future for pastoral communities.

Sanitation is Everyone’s Responsibility – Builsa South DCE Declares

Fumbisi, Builsa South: The Builsa South district capital was abuzz today as residents turned out in large numbers to participate in the district's observance of the National Sanitation Day Campaign. This initiative, launched weeks prior by His Excellency the President of the Republic of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, seeks to promote cleanliness and environmental health across the nation.

Leading the charge was the District Chief Executive, Hon. Ann Musah-Akanko, who, alongside heads of various departments and agencies, joined community members in a thorough cleanup of the district capital. Volunteers diligently cleared choked gutters, collected heaps of plastic waste, and swept public spaces, making a visible impact on the town's cleanliness. Fumbisi has faced sanitation challenges since the end of the contract between the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) and Zoomlion Ghana Limited, making this initiative particularly timely and crucial.

Hon. Musah-Akanko addressed the gathered crowd, emphasizing the critical importance of sanitation in preventing disease outbreaks. She urged residents to take sanitation seriously, both in their homes and in public spaces. The DCE also expressed her gratitude to the youth groups, religious leaders, business owners, traditional authorities, representatives of various political parties, local Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) like AfriKids, BIRDS, Visionary Buluk, and all individuals who took time out of their busy schedules to participate in the exercise.

The National Sanitation Day Campaign aims to instill a sense of responsibility and ownership among citizens regarding environmental cleanliness. By actively participating in cleanup exercises and adopting sustainable sanitation practices, residents of Builsa South and other districts across Ghana can contribute to a healthier and more prosperous nation.

Local Planning, National Impact: Builsa South District Assembly Engages Stakeholders on Spatial Development Framework

Builsa South District held a validation meeting on June 27th, 2025, for its new Spatial Development Framework (SDF) for the period 2025-2045.
Speaking at the event, District Chief Executive Hon. Anne Musah in her address emphasized the SDF's alignment with Ghana's "Resetting Agenda," a national plan prioritizing transparent governance, economic growth (through local business support and job creation), social equity (including free tertiary education for people with disabilities and improved healthcare), and environmental sustainability.

The SDF reflects these priorities by focusing on spatial equity, resource protection, and the creation of empowering economic zones. It also incorporates plans for climate resilience and inclusive service delivery. Hon. Musah acknowledged the vital support of the Land Use and Spatial Planning Authority (LUSPA) and the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), praising their collaborative partnership.

The meeting marked not just a formal validation, but a collective commitment to a brighter future for Builsa South. The SDF aims to demonstrate how effective local planning can drive national progress, and with shared vision, discipline, and unity, Builsa South is poised to reset its development trajectory.

The Assembly's District Development Planning Officer, Pln. Alhassan Abdul-Baqi, highlighted the district's progress while emphasizing the critical need for substantial improvements in health, education, and infrastructure. He underscored the importance of adopting climate-smart agricultural practices and efficient land water and sanitation management, advocating for investment in Agricultural Mechanization Centres to provide farmers with readily available machinery.

Furthermore, he stressed the inadequacy of the current road network and proposed the development of a new market to complement the existing one, addressing the needs of both established and emerging businesses. He stressed the urgent need for a commercial bank, citing the district's significant regional market potential.

Regarding tourism, Pln. Abdul-Baaqi emphasized the need for improvements, particularly in promoting the district's unique cultural heritage, such as the Feok festival and the crocodile ponds in Uwasi, Naadema, etc through innovative marketing strategies.

The LUSPA regional director formally presented a high-speed desktop computer and GPS devices to the district office, supporting project fieldwork and enhancing operational efficiency. LUSPA and SDF regional teams expressed gratitude to management and stakeholders for their contributions to the program's success.
