Northern Ghana survey

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer these questions. We are a group of students conducting research as part of our university project. Our research focuses on the experiences and challenges of young women (18–35) living in rural communities in Northern Ghana, particularly those involved in agriculture and small-scale economic activities.

The purpose of this research is purely academic. We are collaborating with Spinsels, an organization that is eager to support and empower women by better understanding their daily realities, opportunities, and challenges.

Your insights and experiences would be extremely valuable in helping us build a better understanding of the situation. The information you share will only be used for educational and research purposes.

Thank you again for your time and willingness to contribute to this research.
