Drainage that works as a system
Plan connected channels, culverts, outfalls and water-management works around whole catchments—not isolated construction packages.
Water resilience · Ghana
Making room
for water.
The African Resilience and Water Consortium is developing a coordinated approach to Ghana's flood challenge: connecting field observations, drainage infrastructure, nature and long-term stewardship.

ONE CONNECTEDWater system
A catchment-led view
of urban resilience
The challenge
Flooding is not a single blocked drain. It is a connected challenge of land, water, infrastructure, information and maintenance. The response must be connected too.
A whole-system response
Four capabilities.
One resilient future.
ARWC's proposition brings physical works, natural systems, digital intelligence and operational capacity into a shared delivery framework.
Nature working with infrastructure
Use wetlands, retention, restored waterways and permeable landscapes to slow, store and safely release stormwater.
Decisions backed by evidence
Bring flood mapping, field observations, modelling and controlled data into one dependable basis for design and investment.
Prepared communities and operators
Connect monitoring and early warning with clear operating plans, maintenance capacity and community safeguards.
From proposal to performance
A disciplined route
to delivery.
Strong infrastructure starts before construction and continues long after handover. ARWC proposes a transparent, evidence-led pathway for every intervention.

Controlled evidence.
Accountable delivery.
Our current work. Project Phoenix follows an evidence-led approach to programme preparation and infrastructure delivery. See the proposed pathway and dated public updates. Exploratory discussions do not establish a partnership or funding award.
ARWC's materials and infrastructure concepts are proposals for technical and institutional review. They do not represent government adoption, project approval or a commitment of public funds.
Any pilot or works programme would require competent-authority sponsorship, feasibility and engineering design, safeguards, land and permitting decisions, financing, procurement, construction assurance, and operations and maintenance arrangements.
Equipment procurement and field deployment require explicit authorisation through the relevant readiness and approval processes. Weather forecasts and public warnings remain the responsibility of the competent Ghanaian authorities.

ARWC’s co-founders bring scientific evidence appraisal and Ghana institutional coordination together in one programme-development approach.
Kwasi Broni
Co-Founder and Co-Director
Kwasi brings a research background to ARWC’s evidence-led programme development. His work focuses on scientific evidence appraisal, research strategy and programme architecture, translating questions and uncertainty into structured project-preparation requirements.
ARWC responsibility
Evidence-led programme development, scientific evidence appraisal, research strategy, programme architecture, and institutional and project-preparation coordination.
Sylvia Osei-Mensah
Co-Founder and Co-Director
Sylvia coordinates ARWC’s Ghana institutional interface and local programme follow-through. She supports registration and NPO processes, stakeholder and MMDA engagement, and practical coordination as the consortium develops its flood-resilience programme.
ARWC responsibility
Ghana institutional interface, registration and NPO follow-through, stakeholder and metropolitan, municipal and district assembly (MMDA) engagement, and local programme coordination.
