Situation Analysis of Children and Adolescents in Ghana 2026

The Situation Analysis of Children and Adolescents in Ghana 2026 provides a comprehensive, evidence-based assessment of the wellbeing of children and adolescents across the country. Developed by UNICEF and the Government of Ghana, the report examines the factors shaping children’s lives from pregnancy through adolescence, identifying the barriers, inequalities, and opportunities that influence their health, education, nutrition, protection, and overall development. 

Using a lifecycle and equity-focused approach, the report analyzes national data alongside qualitative research to explore how poverty, gender, disability, geography, climate change, and other structural factors affect children’s outcomes. It also identifies key policy and service delivery gaps and presents strategic recommendations to help strengthen systems, target investments, and improve outcomes for every child in Ghana. 

Whether you are a policymaker, development practitioner, researcher, or partner, this report offers valuable insights to inform evidence-based decision-making and support progress toward realizing the rights of every child.
