FOSAT Engineering and Consultancy Services is a Limited Liability Company registered under the Companies Code, 1963 (Act 179) of Ghana. It was registered and issued a certificate of Incorporation on 22nd September 1997.

FOSAT was formed to offer consultancy services to clients seeking to promote socio-economic development, especially in Urban and rural areas and small towns, through the provision of sustainable Water Supply, Sanitation, Drainage Systems, Rainfed and Irrigated Agriculture, aquaculture, environmental protection and other infrastructural services.

Another major area where FOSAT’S activities are widely known is in community sensitization, mobilisation and training programmes towards ownership and management, in a manner that is compatible with the environment.

Our Company is acutely aware of the importance of human factors in the success of projects. Consequently, in conducting all our studies and especially community driven projects, we specifically emphasise the need to:

• Provide facilities, which respond to the choice of beneficiary communities.
  
• Actively involve all key stakeholders (DA, beneficiaries) and secure their commitment to sustainable use of facilities.
  
• Take into account environmental factors in the implementation of all project activities.
  
• Install technologies /facilities that communities can operate maintain and manage themselves or delegate.
  
• Train executives and technicians until the transfer of responsibilities.
  
• Promote organisational structures for the works and their management.

Our experience shows that it is essential for future beneficiaries of projects to have a clear idea of the way in which the responsibilities are to be shared among the various project participants (the Government, donors, the local authorities, users, private sector, etc.), and of the various functions and tasks to be fulfilled before, during and after project completion:

FOSAT has a core of, highly experienced, multidisciplinary team of engineers (civil/hydraulics engineers), Hydrogeologists/Geophysicists and a socio-economist / land use planner. Members of the team have field experience in their respective fields spanning from 10 to over 20 years. We have a total staff capacity of 35 comprising 5 Civil Engineers, 4 Hydological Engineers, 8 Socio-Economists, 10 Administration and support staff, and 8 freelancers.

We also have a cadre of seasoned Associate Consultants who regularly participate in its multidisciplinary assignments as and when necessary. Fosat has within its period of existence, carried out a number of assignments successfully and in some cases in Joint Ventureship with some local and International companies.
