Ghana

Last updated: August 2010

NEW! The Ghana Poverty Assessment Tool was updated in August 2010. This new version is notably different than the previous version released in 2007, as it was developed using a more recent data set. Earlier versions of the same Tool (using the more recent data set) were released in June and July 2010; the minor changes made are detailed in the PAT Changelog.

The new Survey has a slightly different look but is in the same format (Excel).

The new Data Entry Template was designed to be used within the CSPro software package.

While it is recommended that these new tools be used as soon as they are made available, results using previous versions of the PAT (using the Epi Info software) will be accepted for FY2010 reporting. In FY2011, all implementing partners will be required to use the CSPro templates and corresponding tools for MRR reporting.

A User Guide is now available to assist implementers. See below.
