What the nation’s press has documented about the death of our rivers, what the restoration movement is building in response, and what the Restore Ghana Project has to say, all in one place.
The fight for Ghana’s rivers has been argued in reports, pulpits, newsrooms, and laboratories. Each article links to the original publication.
The mandate, the governance, the engineering, and the money, answered directly.
The project is an industrial environmental remediation initiative focused on dredging and restoring major river bodies heavily polluted by illegal mining operations.
It is managed by a corporate Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), DIHOC DENZEL GHANA LIMITED, which is a joint venture between the Defence Industries Holding Company (DIHOC) Limited and Denzel Logistics Limited.
Our operations extract built‑up silt to restore natural river depth, stabilize banks to prevent erosion, improve raw water quality, and mitigate regional flood risks.
The launch requires a projected capital expenditure of $200 million. This is funded through private equity, international environmental funds, grants, and commercial revenue from managed sand extraction and utility services.
By restoring river flow and depth, the project lowers state disaster management costs, protects infrastructure from flooding, and secures public water supply continuity.
All operations require certified Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) from the EPA. On the ground, project monitoring is institutionalized alongside local Municipal Assemblies (MMDAs) and traditional chiefs.
We respond to media enquiries on the Restore Ghana Project, the state of the Offin, Pra, and Ankobra basins, and the restoration programme’s progress. Interviews, site‑visit requests, and background briefings are arranged through the contacts below.
