The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS), in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the World Bank (WB) is conducting a Business Tracker Survey from Tuesday, 25 May to 20 June 2020 to track the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on businesses in Ghana.
The survey (business tracker) which involves the use of telephone interview for data collection will identify and measure the impact of the coronavirus disease on small, medium and large scale establishments operating in the country.
It will also assess measures put in place by businesses to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 as well as efforts to build better recovery for businesses. The outcome of the survey will enable government and development partners come out with measures to alleviate the impact of the disease on businesses.
Commenting on the survey, Professor Samuel Kobina Annim, noted that results from the survey will inform policy directions in protecting jobs and safeguarding progress of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The findings will also provide insights into keeping the promise of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCTA) alive as a tool to handle future pandemics and protect jobs and businesses.
“The data collection does not require payment of money, and under no circumstance should an establishment be required to pay any amount to any person,” GSS said in a statement.
