Summary

This diagnostic mission, financed under a SECO Transformative Statistics Agenda two-year project (FY23-25), assessed country priorities in view of Ghana’s climate challenges and identified key indicators for development under the Environment and Climate Change Statistics Capacity Development Program. Discussions were conducted during plenary and bilateral sessions with key national stakeholders representing data compilers and users to take stock of work already undertaken on climate change related statistics for Ghana, ongoing capacity development initiatives with other agencies, policy needs and data gaps, and data sources. These discussions were facilitated by provision of introductory training on climate change indicators. Participating agencies included the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS), the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation (MESTI), Environment Protection Agency (EPA), Energy Commission, National Development Planning Commission (NDPC), and the Bank of Ghana.
