USAID's Environmental Health Project (EHP), together with EGAT/UP and the
USAID/Ghana Mission, conducted a rapid assessment of urban health needs in Ghana
in July 2002. Although Ghana's cities are growing rapidly, national development
policies and international assistance packages have not yet focused attention on the
needs of urban populations. USAID/Ghana requested this assessment in preparation
for a strategic planning exercise that will determine the future direction of its
population, health and nutrition assistance.
