In collaboration with USEPA, Dr. Boukerrou is managing a project to build the institutional and human capacity of a water quality laboratory in West Africa. The project is funded by USAID West Africa through a Participating Agency Program Agreement (PAPA) with USEPA. The goal of the program is to train water quality laboratory technicians and to develop the institutional capacity by helping develop standard operating procedures. The initial focus of this program is on the Ghana Water Company Ltd in Accra and its satellite labs around the country. In addition, the program has also focused on building the capacity of the African Water Association (AfWA) by training auditors to conduct audits of water utility companies’ quality labs in West Africa.
