The government has started the necessary processes for the establishment of the Ghana Hydrological Authority. A draft bill (the Ghana Hydrological Authority Bill, 2021) that would give legal backing to the Authority is currently before Parliament for consideration. Some of the coastal communities which have benefited from this funding are Axim, Amanful Kumah, New Takoradi, Komenda, Cape Coast and Anomabo. He said the government considered the protection of the coastal communities critical and would continue to invest in sea defence projects to safeguard lives. "The government will also continue the implementation of all ongoing projects and commence works at Apam, Axim Phase II, La, Teshie and other sea defence works," he said.
