The provision of a one-stop-shop of the 2024 statistical products wil enable stakeholders to understand the scope of work of GSS and enhance the use of statistics, which wi l yield optimal returns of the investment in data and statistics for good governance.
Our monthly and quarterly publications such as the Consumer and Producer Price Indices, external trade, and Gross Domestic Product, as wel as in-depth analyses of yearly and periodic reports on data from different surveys, offer critical insights into Ghana’s economic, social, demographic, health and environmental characteristics. Beyond producing data, GSS prioritises accessibility of its statistical products to al potential users including the youth, civil society organisations, private sector and the public. To achieve this, direct links and QR codes to our digital platforms, including the GSS website and the StatsBank have been provided for ease of access. These tools empower users to interact with and utilize the data more effectively.
As we reflect on the outputs in 2024, management and staff are further motivated in expanding the scope, quality, and utility of our statistical outputs. It is the anticipation of the Service that stakeholders wil explore this guide, gain insights from the highlights provided, and engage with GSS as we work together to build a data-driven Ghana.
