DECCMA Ghana Work Package Three (WP3) has completed the training of 30 Field Enumerators and 6 Supervisors for the commencement of the Sending Area Household Surveys in the Volta Delta. The DECCMA project is aimed at analysing the impacts of climate change and other environmental drivers across deltas in Africa and Asia. This Household survey together with other participatory research and economic methods will be used to analyse the processes of migration across the deltas.

The Sending Area Survey would involve some 1500 households in 50 Enumeration Areas (EAs) across 9 Administrative Districts within the Volta Delta stretching from Prampram in the Greater Accra region to Aflao in the Volta region.

The four-day training held at the Regional Institute of Population Studies (RIPS) of the University of Ghana took participants through the survey instruments, the Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) and also conducted a pilot of the survey in Oshiyie near Kokrobite in Accra.
