The GNHR stands for Ghana National Household Registry. It is a project proposed by the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection to ensure Ghana has a single data source for targeting and identifying beneficiaries for all Social Protection Programmes. It is therefore a database of all Households who voluntarily take part in the Household Registration Exercise.

The GNHR is an entirely new household registry that will enable all social protection Programmes to access household data from one source. Once this is operational, this will be the only source of data for all Programmes. It is important therefore that all households register during this exercise.

Yes. This is a new exercise to create a single national registry where LEAP and all other Social Protection Programmes such as Free NHIS and Free School Uniform Programme will access household data for the purposes of selecting beneficiaries for their respective Programmes.

A Public Information Campaign which includes mass media communication (Radio, TV etc) as well as the use of local volunteers will be undertaken to inform communities of when as well as the location of their respective Community Registration Centres.

You will provide information about yourself, other members of your household, and the type of house you live in, etc. Enumerators will use a set of standard questions which will apply to every household that is enumerated.

The head of the household will be required to present an ID (Eg. National ID) . Biometric data will be taken from the head of the household plus two others (above 18 years of age) who could stand in for the head of the house should s/he be unavailable for any reason.

Every household in Ghana is encouraged to register. The purpose of the Project is to provide a database for Social Protection Programmes. The ultimate focus of the project is therefore the poor and vulnerable; however every household is encouraged to register.

Through our Public Education, the mass media as well as local volunteers you will have information relating to when a mop up exercise will be conducted in your community. You will also have access to our toll free call centre to call for assistance

Do register. Kindly provide all the information available to you. Your head of house may provide additional information that you may not have, at a later stage through our Case Management Process.

If you have lived in the community for at least six months out of a twelve month period, you qualify to register as part of the household.

This is a household registration exercise. Therefore your registration is tied to your household. It is therefore recommended that you register with your household in the community where you reside.

The GNHR Project has a comprehensive Case Management system to take care of any changes that occur in the household after the registration exercise. Should any change occur in your household therefore, please inform the Registry as soon as possible through the contact information provided.
