This project will undertake a national investment case to reduce ambient air pollution and improve health in Ghana. UNDP is in a unique position to undertake these analyses, as a trusted partner working alongside governments to collect new data and guidance on air pollution and health, and their impacts to poverty, inequalities, and exclusion. 

This project’s goal is to review existing local bye-laws, engaging local government leadership and communities for incorporation of air pollution parameters in bye-laws. This will enhance enforcement capabilities of the local assemblies in Accra.

This Breathe Cities project aims to raise public awareness about air pollution exposure and its health impacts in the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area by leveraging radio, television, billboards, and social media to disseminate information to the city's residents.

This Breathe Cities project aims to assess the impact of respiratory-related diseases and morbidities from air pollution over the past decade in Accra, and explore policy interventions to address it.

With open waste burning a major source of pollution in Ghana, this project aims to design and build a sustainable model for waste collection and management in Accra.

This programme provides resources and training that empowers young professionals to combat air pollution, support advocacy, and promote sustainable practices.

This project aims to establish a centralised platform for collecting, analysing and disseminating air quality data in Ghana. The project seeks to provide policymakers, researchers and the public with comprehensive insights into air pollution levels.

This project will deliver a publicly-accessible PM2.5 concentration database at daily time resolution and 1km2 spatial resolution for the whole of Ghana from the early 2000s to the present day, to support improved policymaking and epidemiological research.
