加纳 Ketu 南市 Blekusu 海岸防护工程二期已正式启动。

"这不仅具有象征意义，更是责任型领导力在关切民瘼、倾听民意、务实行动时的生动体现。" John Dramani Mahama 总统于近日在 Agavedzi 破土动工前的民众集会上郑重宣告。

总统强调，政府致力于为子孙后代守护社区民生与环境福祉，无论这些社区地处何方。他指出加纳政府此项举措彰显了国家捍卫沿海社区、守护生命财产与基础设施的坚定决心。

Mahama 总统特别说明，潮汐灾害并非此地独有，全国多地均发生过类似悲剧，政府绝不能对此现象视若无睹。他提到加纳 550 多公里的海岸线是渔业、贸易和旅游业的重要资产，但这段海岸正日益受到气候变化与潮汐侵袭的威胁。

Blekusu 海岸防护二期工程将为 Blekusu、Agavedzi、Salakope、Amutinu 和 Adina 等社区带来显著改善。总统透露承建商 AMANDI 公司将在 48 个月内完成 37 座防波堤建设及海岸线填海工程，保护 8 公里海岸带。防波堤作为垂直海岸线的水工建筑，可有效拦截沉积物、减缓侵蚀。

社区基础建设

在加纳水文局监管的防护工程之外，Mahama 总统宣布政府将同步建设现代化渔市、渔民冷链加工设施、鱼品晾晒熏制平台、停车场、公共卫生设施及垃圾回收系统等社区配套。

"这不仅是海岸防护，更是融合环境保护与社会经济基础设施的综合韧性工程。" 总统强调。

他呼吁工程住建部、水文局、科图南市议会、承包商、咨询团队及受益社区酋长民众同心协力推进项目，要求全程恪守问责制、透明度与社区参与原则，特别敦促青年群体维护施工区域秩序，杜绝非法采砂等破坏行为。

Aflao 现代化市场

Mahama 总统同时宣布将海岸防护工程延伸至 Aflao 的计划，并透露在中国政府支持下，Aflao 现代化市场（Asigame）建设项目已提上日程。工程住建部长 Kenneth Gilbert Adjei 先生向民众保证项目将如期顺利完工。

当地议员 Abla Dzifa Gomashie 先生称此项目是政府兑现承诺的有力证明。Some 传统领地大酋长 Togbuiga Adama III 指出潮汐还损毁了道路并导致居民饮用水短缺，恳请总统援助其他受灾社区。

项目背景

项目背景可追溯至 2015 年 Mahama 总统首个任期内启动的一期工程，当时建设的防波堤成功保护了 Azizadzi、Horvi 和 Blekusu 4.3 公里海岸带。

随着第一阶段工作的圆满完成，其他脆弱社区仍面临潮汐灾害的威胁，而气候变化和变异性导致的海平面上升使情况进一步恶化。这一情况使得布莱库苏海岸保护项目第二期工程必须紧急启动。

Mahama Breaks Ground for Coastal Protection Project to Save 5 Volta Communities

The Blekusu Coastal Protection Project Phase II in the Ketu South Municipality has officially commenced.

“This is not merely symbolic, but rather a clear demonstration of what responsible leadership can do, when it cares, when it listens, when it acts,” President John Dramani Mahama declared at a durbar prior to the groundbreaking ceremony at Agavedzi on Saturday.

He said the government was committed to protecting communities, their livelihoods, and their environment for future generations, regardless of their location.

President Mahama stressed that the Government of Ghana’s initiative reflected a national resolve to defend coastal communities and safeguard lives, homes, and infrastructure.

He noted that the destruction caused by tidal waves was not unique to the Ketu South Municipality, as similar tragedies had occurred in other parts of the country, and the government could not turn a blind eye to the phenomenon.

Ghana’s coastline, he stated, spanned more than 550 kilometres and was a vital asset for fishing, trade, and tourism. However, the stretch remained vulnerable to climate change and tidal wave invasions.

The Blekusu Coastal Protection Project Phase II is expected to bring significant relief to the communities of Blekusu, Agavedzi, Salakope, Amutinu, and Adina.

The President disclosed that the contractors, AMANDI, had been tasked to complete the project within 48 months. The scope includes the construction of 37 armour rock groynes and land reclamation to protect eight kilometres of the coastline.

Groynes are coastal engineering structures built perpendicular to the shoreline to trap sediments and reduce erosion.

Community infrastructure

In addition to the coastal protection works, which are being supervised by the Ghana Hydrological Authority, President Mahama said the government would incorporate essential community infrastructure to enhance local livelihoods.

These would include a modern fish market, cold storage and processing facilities for fisherfolk, fish drying and smoking platforms, a car park and lorry station, public sanitation facilities, and a waste collection system.

“So, this is more than just coastal protection; it is a comprehensive resilience initiative, blending environmental protection with socio-economic infrastructure,” the President emphasised.

He appealed to the Ministry of Works and Housing, the Ghana Hydrological Authority, the Ketu South Municipal Assembly, project contractors and consultants, and the chiefs and people of the beneficiary communities to work together with unity and purpose to ensure the success of the project.

“Let us uphold the values of accountability, transparency, and community engagement throughout the implementation of this project.

“I urge everyone, especially the youth, to take ownership of this project by respecting the construction zones and timelines, and by refraining from harmful activities such as illegal sand winning,” he added.

Modern market for Aflao

President Mahama further announced plans to extend the coastal protection project to Aflao. He also revealed that the construction of a modern market (Asigame) in Aflao was in the pipeline, with support from the Government of China.

The Minister for Works, Housing and Water Resources, Kenneth Gilbert Adjei, earlier assured the gathering that work on the project would progress smoothly and be completed on schedule.

The Member of Parliament for the area, Abla Dzifa Gomashie, described the project as clear testimony of the government’s resolve to fulfil its promises to the people.

The Makorsor of Some Traditional Area, Togbuiga Adama III, noted that tidal waves had also destroyed roads in the area and deprived residents of access to potable water. He appealed to President Mahama to intervene and extend support to other affected communities.

Project background

In 2015, during President John Dramani Mahama’s previous term, the government commenced the Blekusu Coastal Protection Project Phase I.

That phase covered a 4.3-kilometre stretch involving the construction of groynes to protect the coastal communities of Azizadzi, Horvi, and Blekusu from tidal wave impact and coastal erosion.

Following the successful execution of Phase I, other vulnerable communities remained exposed to tidal devastation, worsened by rising sea levels due to climate change and variability.

This situation necessitated the urgent commencement of the Blekusu Coastal Protection Project Phase II.
