Ghana - Emergency Food Security and Market Assessment, June 2016

The main focus of this assessment was to estimate and update the food security situation in districts within the Savanna Agro-ecological Zone of the country where the operations of WFP are concentrated. Data was collected from 6,118 households across 49 districts in five regions between February and early March 2016. However, the sample is not statistically representative for 10 districts as a result of changes made to the original sample following a verification exercise. In order to evaluate the feasibility of Cash-Based Transfers and to provide information for decision making on whether such interventions are conducive in these regions, a market assessment was also undertaken.
