Abstract

The primary objective of the survey is to provide current estimates of key malaria indicators. Specific objectives were: ▪ To measure the extent of ownership and use of mosquito bed nets ▪ To assess coverage of intermittent preventive treatment to protect pregnant women ▪ To identify practices and specific medications used for treating malaria among children under age 5 ▪ To measure indicators of behaviour change communication messages, knowledge, and practices regarding malaria ▪ To measure the prevalence of malaria and severe anaemia among children age 6-59 months

The findings from the 2019 GMIS will assist policymakers and programme managers in evaluating and designing programmes and strategies for improving malaria control interventions in Ghana.

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

The sample for the 2019 GMIS was designed to provide estimates of key malaria indicators for the country as a whole, for urban and rural areas separately, and for each of the 10 administrative regions (Western, Central, Greater Accra, Volta, Eastern, Ashanti, Brong Ahafo, Northern, Upper East, and Upper West) as defined in the Ghana 2010 Population and Housing Census (PHC).

The sampling frame used for the 2019 GMIS is the frame of the 2010 PHC, conducted in Ghana by GSS. In 2019, Ghana created six new regions, resulting in a total of 16 regions and 260 administrative districts; however, during survey design, the new administrative boundaries were not available. The 2019 GMIS sampling frame is therefore based on the 10 regional boundaries defined according to the 2010 PHC. The frame is a complete list of all census enumeration areas (EAs) created for the PHC. An EA is the smallest geographic area that can be easily canvassed by an enumerator during an enumeration exercise. The sampling frame contains information about EA location, type of residence (urban or rural), the estimated number of residential households, and the estimated population.

The 2019 GMIS sample was stratified and selected from the sampling frame in two stages. In the first stage, 200 EAs (97 in urban areas and 103 in rural areas) were selected with probability proportional to EA size and with independent selection in each sampling stratum. In the second stage of selection, a fixed number of 30 households was selected from each cluster to make up a total sample size of 6,000 households.

For further details on sample design, see Appendix A of the final report.

Mode of data collection

Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]

Research instrument

Four types of questionnaires were used for the 2019 GMIS: the Household Questionnaire, the Woman’s Questionnaire, the Biomarker Questionnaire, and the Fieldworker Questionnaire. The questionnaires were adapted to reflect issues relevant to Ghana. Modifications were determined after a series of meetings with various stakeholders from the NMCP and other government ministries and agencies, nongovernmental organisations, and international partners. The Household and Woman’s Questionnaires in English and four local Ghanaian languages (Akan, Dagbani, Ewe, and Ga) were programmed into tablet computers, which enabled the use of computer-assisted personal interviewing for the survey. The Biomarker Questionnaire, also translated into four local languages, was filled out on hard copy and entered into the CAPI system when complete.

Cleaning operations

Data for the 2019 GMIS were collected through questionnaires programmed into the CAPI application. The CAPI application was programmed by The DHS Program and loaded into the computers along with the Household, Biomarker, and Woman’s Questionnaires. Using the Internet File Streaming System (IFSS) developed by The DHS Program, the field supervisors transferred data on a daily basis to a central location for data processing in the GSS office located in Accra. To facilitate communication and monitoring, each fieldworker was assigned a unique identification number.

The Census and Survey Processing (CSPro) program was used for data editing, cleaning, weighting, and tabulation. Data received from the field teams’ CAPI applications were registered and checked for any inconsistencies and outliers at the GSS Head Office. Data editing and cleaning included an extensive range of structural and internal consistency checks. All anomalies were communicated to field teams, which resolved data discrepancies. The corrected results were maintained in master CSPro data files and then used in producing tables for the final report.

Sampling error estimates

The estimates from a sample survey are affected by two types of errors: non-sampling errors and sampling errors. Non-sampling errors are the results of mistakes made in implementing data collection and data processing, such as failure to locate and interview the correct household, misunderstanding of the questions on the part of either the interviewer or the respondent, and data entry errors. Although numerous efforts were made during the implementation of the 2019 Ghana Malaria Indicator Survey (GMIS) to minimize this type of error, non-sampling errors are impossible to avoid and difficult to evaluate statistically.

Sampling errors, on the other hand, can be evaluated statistically. The sample of respondents selected in the 2019 GMIS is only one of many samples that could have been selected from the same population, using the same design and expected size. Each of these samples would yield results that differ somewhat from the results of the actual sample selected. Sampling errors are a measure of the variability between all possible samples. Although the degree of variability is not known exactly, it can be estimated from the survey results.

Sampling error is usually measured in terms of the standard error for a particular statistic (mean, percentage, etc.), which is the square root of the variance. The standard error can be used to calculate confidence intervals within which the true value for the population can reasonably be assumed to fall. For example, for any given statistic calculated from a sample survey, the value of that statistic will fall within a range of plus or minus two times the standard error of that statistic in 95% of all possible samples of identical size and design.

If the sample of respondents had been selected as a simple random sample, it would have been possible to use straightforward formulas for calculating sampling errors. However, the 2019 GMIS sample is the result of a multi-stage stratified design, and, consequently, it was necessary to use more complex formulas. Sampling errors are computed in SAS, using programs developed by ICF. These programs use the Taylor linearization method of variance estimation for survey estimates that are means, proportions, or ratios.

A more detailed description of estimates of sampling errors are presented in Appendix B of the survey report.

Key Market Drivers

Growing Middle Class and Rising Income Levels: Ghana’s growing middle class, with increasing disposable incomes and changing lifestyles, has significantly spurred the demand for personal vehicles. This demographic shift is leading to greater aspirations for car ownership, fueling the expansion of the automotive market in the country. The country's GDP per capita increased from $2,230 in 2020 to approximately $2,560 in 2022, with the middle class comprising about 48% of the urban population. The Ghana Statistical Service reported that household spending on transportation increased by 23% between 2020-2022.

Automotive Assembly Policy Incentives: The Ghanaian government has introduced favorable policies and incentives to attract automotive manufacturers, positioning the country as a regional automotive hub. Initiatives such as tax breaks, duty exemptions, and the Ghana Automotive Development Policy aim to promote local vehicle assembly and manufacturing, fostering market growth and job creation. The Ghana Automotive Development Policy (GADP) led to investments exceeding USD 50 Million in local assembly operations by 2022. VW Ghana reported assembling over 1,200 vehicles in 2022, with plans to increase production by 40% annually.

As of 2021, the Ashanti and Greater Accra regions were the most populous in Ghana, each accounting for around six million inhabitants. Following these were the Central and Eastern regions, each registering 2.9 million people. Since 2010, the total population of Ghana has grown to reach almost 31 million people in 2021. In 2018, Ghana created six new regions in a referendum, bringing the total number of regions to 16.

The labor force participation rate for males in Ghana stood at 64.57 percent in 2024. The rate fell by 14.14 percentage points from 1990.
