This Technical Assistance report on Ghana focuses on the diagnostic mission on macro-relevant climate change statistics.
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 environment and climate change related statistics for Ghana,
- ongoing capacity development initiatives with other agencies,
- policy needs and data gaps,
- data sources.

Secondary priorities identified:
- mineral and energy resource and energy statistics,
- carbon footprints.
It is expected that project participants will agree on a roadmap for their compilation during a second phase of the project after Air Emissions Accounts are compiled.

The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS), which is at the center of the national statistical system, will continue to coordinate the collaboration between agencies participating in this project in close consultation with the Environment Protection Agency (EPA).
A technical coordinating group will include key stakeholders from the agencies participating in the plenary sessions and be chaired by the GSS and the EPA.
Meetings will be held as needed.
