The Trusted Household Registry of Ghana
The Ghana National Household Registry (GNHR) is the official, most reliable database for identifying households nationwide, powering equitable, efficient social protection.
A Foundation for Social Protection
Social protection programs in Ghana rely on accurate data to ensure interventions reach those who need them most. Before the GNHR, targeting often relied on fragmented or outdated information causing inefficiencies, overlaps, and exclusions.
The GNHR provides a comprehensive, up-to-date, verifiable database of households. It helps:
Target vulnerable populations for social interventions.
Avoid duplication of beneficiaries across programs.
Improve efficiency in delivering social services.
Strengthen accountability and value for money.
Built on Trust and Transparency
GNHR’s credibility comes from rigorous data collection and validation. Enumerators are trained to engage communities respectfully and inclusively. Each household is uniquely identified and cross-checked through quality assurance for accuracy.
Communities are engaged at every stage from pre-collection sensitization to verification of results, making the registry a trusted national resource.
