Ghanaians identify unemployment as the most important issue for the government to address, followed closely by infrastructure/roads and health, the latest Afrobarometer survey reveals.
Citizens express widespread support for the continuation of government initiatives aimed at social and economic improvement. Large majorities back the free senior high school programme as well as the planting/rearing for food and jobs; one district, one factory; and one village, one dam initiatives. In contrast, more than three-quarters of citizens prefer that the electronic transactions levy (e-levy) be discontinued.
Many Ghanaians experienced some level of poverty in the past year, suffering shortages of necessities such as food and clean water. Large majorities of citizens rate the government’s economic performance negatively.
