Few citizens are content with the country’s economic situation and their personal living conditions, and a majority say the country is headed in the wrong direction. Key findings in CDD’s Afrobarometer survey suggest that six in 10 Ghanaians (59%) say the country is “going in the wrong direction.” The share of citizens who see the country as “going in the right direction” declined by 15 percentage points from 2017 to 35%. Only three in 10 Ghanaians (30%) describe the country’s economic conditions as “fairly good” or “very good,” a modest decline from 35% recorded in 2017. Fewer than four in 10 (37%) say their personal living conditions are “fairly good” or “very good.” § And only 31% say the country’s economic condition has improved over the past 12 months.
