The Ghana Statistical Service , has for several years now with the support of the Government of Ghana and for the national policy framework and the nation's development agenda.These efforts have led to a number of initiatives,the most significant being the launch in November 2008, of the Ghana Statistics Development Plan (GSDP) and the Ghana Statistical Service Corporate Plan (programmed form 2009 to 2013).
These strategic plan have offered us the necessary opportunity to address some perennial weaknesses in the statistical system nationwide.Given the changing economic landscape of the country, there is the need to ensure that those who need statistical information such as government,business,investors(both current and prospective),and the public at large,are assured of timely and relevant information.The goal of the strategic plans is therefore to make basic data routinely available,and to respond promptly to new and emerging statistical needs.
