Summary 

The Ghana Socioeconomic Panel Survey 2009-2010 collected baseline information for a panel of 5,009 households (18,889 household members) across all regions of Ghana. Two questionnaires collected information about household demographics, housing characteristics, household and agricultural assets, agricultural production, household enterprises, health and fertility, and household consumption and expenditure. Cognitive tests were conducted for children in the household, and psychological tests were conducted for the household head, spouse, and a randomly chosen household member.

A community questionnaire was also used to collect information about community institutions, political organizations, development programs, and infrastructure. Geographic (GPS) information was also recorded for all households and community facilities.
