GROWTH's Integrated Rural Development Programme is located in the Dangme East District, a deprived district in the Greater Accra Region facing severe economical, environmental and social problems that affect the development of the area and result in considerable rural-urban migration.
For the programme, local communities were involved in designing the programme and both the community and District departments are involved in implementation and management.
The programme promotes the use of appropriate technology suited to local economic and environmental conditions. Health and sanitation in the district is improved through training in construction of improved toilet and waste disposal systems and dams for drinking water irrigation.
