ACTIVITY REPORT 114. GHANA URBAN HEALTH
ASSESSMENT
The Environmental Health Project conducted an assessment
of urban health needs in Ghana in July 2002. Although Ghana's cities are
growing rapidly, national development policies and international assistance
packages have not yet focused attention on the needs of urban populations.
USAID/Ghana requested this assessment in preparation for a strategic
planning exercise that will determine the future direction of its
population, health and nutrition assistance.
