The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) has introduced the Ghana Stats App, a mobile application that delivers district-level data from the 2010 and 2021 Population and Housing Censuses.
The app features 23 indicators from the 2021 census, emphasizing critical areas such as population management, healthcare, employment, and social protection in line with Ghana’s Vision 2057. It also includes comparisons of data from 2010 and 2021 across 21 indicators and offers population projections for each district for 2024 and 2030.
During the launch, the Chairperson of the GSS Governing Board, Dr. Grace Bediako noted that the app allows users to explore statistics for all 261 districts in Ghana, with rankings and indicators available at both national and regional levels.

This tool is designed to facilitate progress tracking, support targeted interventions, and enhance statistical literacy. It responds to the growing demand for accessible, user-friendly data tools at sub-national levels.
The Ghana Stats App complements other GSS tools such as the GSS StatsBank and the Digital Census Atlas, providing disaggregated data for effective policymaking.
Dr. Bediako encouraged Ghanaians to adopt data-driven decision-making to support national development goals and ensure that no district is left behind.
The app is available on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and Huawei App Gallery.
