  • South Dayi District
    SOUTH DAYI DISTRICT i Copyright © 2014 Ghana Statistical Service ii PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT No meaningful developmental activity can be undertaken without taking into account the characteristics of the population for whom the activity is targeted. The size of the population and its spatial distribution, growth and change over time, in addition to its socio-economic characteristics are all important in development planning. A population census is the most important source of data on the size, composition, growth and distribution of a country’s population at the national and sub-national levels. Data from the 2010 Population and Housing Census (PHC) will serve as reference for equitable distribution of national resources and government services, including the allocation of government funds among various regions, districts and other sub-national populations to education, health and other social services. The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) is delighted to provide data users, especially the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies, with district-level analytical reports based on the 2010 PHC data to facilitate their planning and decision-making. The District Analytical Report for the South Dayi District is one of the 216 district census reports aimed at making data available to planners and decision makers at the district level. In addition to presenting the district profile, the report discusses the social and economic dimensions of demographic variables and their implications for policy formulation, planning and interventions. The conclusions and recommendations drawn from the district report are expected to serve as a basis for improving the quality of life of Ghanaians through evidence- based decision-making, monitoring and evaluation of developmental goals and intervention programmes.

  • Ghana: Retail Foods Report
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 5/22/2017 GAIN Report Number: Ghana Post: Accra Retail Foods Report Report Categories: Retail Foods Approved By: Ryan Scott Prepared By: Joshua Taylor Report Highlights: Occupying 28th position on the 2016 edition of the Global Retail Development Index by A.T Kearney, Ghana has finally broken into the top 30 countries with massive potential for thriving retail business in the world. Ghana, a model of stability in West Africa, has over the last six years, had its economy grown by an average of six percent each year, hitting a record-breaking 14 percent in 2011. Growth declined in the following years down to GDP value of 3.9 percent in 2015, the slowest growth rate in 20 years. In 2017, economists expect the country to post strong growth of around seven percent. A middle class is fast emerging, with its attendant wealthy consumers who are increasingly embracing western brands, products and lifestyles. Therein lays business opportunities for exporters of retail foods, namely cereals, meat (including poultry) and meat products, soybean meal, prepared food, skim milk powder and other high-value products from the United States. Executive Summary: Ghana’s Economic Outlook: The International Monetary Fund’s World Economic Outlook database of October 2014 pegged Ghana’s annual growth rate in 2011 at 15 percent. Ghana’s outlook is predicted to be fairly stable. It was envisaged that growth would be slow in 2016 but be bolstered by robust private consumption and fixed investment along with a steady spending on High-Value Products (HVP) in 2017.

  • Ningo-Prampram Municipality
    NINGO-PRAMPRAM MUNICIPALITY Copyright © 2014 Ghana Statistical Service ii PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT No meaningful developmental activity can be undertaken without taking into account the characteristics of the population for whom the activity is targeted. The size of the population and its spatial distribution, growth and change over time, in addition to its socio-economic characteristics are all important in development planning. A population census is the most important source of data on the size, composition, growth and distribution of a country’s population at the national and sub-national levels. Data from the 2010 Population and Housing Census (PHC) will serve as reference for equitable distribution of national resources and government services, including the allocation of government funds among various regions, districts and other sub-national populations to education, health and other social services. The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) is delighted to provide data users, especially the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies, with district-level analytical reports based on the 2010 PHC data to facilitate their planning and decision-making. The District Analytical Report for the Ningo-Prampram Municipality is one of the 216 district census reports aimed at making data available to planners and decision makers at the district level. In addition to presenting the district profile, the report discusses the social and economic dimensions of demographic variables and their implications for policy formulation, planning and interventions. The conclusions and recommendations drawn from the district report are expected to serve as a basis for improving the quality of life of Ghanaians through evidence-based decision-making, monitoring and evaluation of developmental goals and intervention programmes.
