Korle Lagoon Ecological
Restoration Project
The purpose of the Korle Lagoon
Ecological Restoration Project
(KLERP) is to restore the Korle
lagoon to its former ecologically and
financially valuable state.
The project
aims to improve Accra′s drainage,
flooding and sanitation problems by
ensuring good flood water
conveyance to the sea as well as the
implementation of the sewer pump
station and offshore outfall pipeline.
IMDC pre-qualified and submitted an
internationally competitive bid for the
KLERP project. After award and
contract signature the initial design
phase commenced. Since 2007, PMI

carried out locally by strong partners,
with the supervision and coordination
carried out by PMI.
