Ghana Feed the Future - Population-Based Survey (Ghana FTF PBS)
Feed the Future (FTF) seeks to reduce poverty and undernutrition in 19 developing countries, including Ghana. FTF data have been collected through population-based surveys in the geographic areas targeted by FTF interventions, known as the FTF Zones of Influence (ZOI). Ghana FTF focused its ZOI on the three northernmost regions of the country (Upper West, Upper East, and Northern Region) and selected areas above the 8th parallel in the Brong Ahafo Region. The sample included approximately 25,000 adults and children from over 4,400 households. The baseline survey was conducted in 2012, with a follow-up in 2015.
