Mole conferences have been running since 1989, when I was still a student. This year, we are commemorating the thirty-fifth in the series of Mole Conferences (Mole XXXV). The organisers have chosen a really interesting Theme for the conference. “Looking Back on SDG Six Implementation in Ghana: Progress, Challenges and Way Forward.” In many situations in life, it is important to pause, reflect and decide on the way forward to ensure that what we are doing is acceptable and relevant and we will arrive at our expected destination.

As we celebrate this 35th anniversary, it’s essential to acknowledge the history and evolution of the Mole Conference Series. Since its inception in 1989, the Mole Conference Series has evolved from what was primarily an NGO forum into the most important multi-stakeholder platform within the WASH Sector in Ghana.
