This survey of households in four villages in Akwapim South district of southern Ghana was part of a USAID project called Assets and Market Access Collaborative Research Support Program (AMA CRSP), a long-term empirical study of idiosyncratic shocks and welfare dynamics in Ghana, Bangladesh, and Ethiopia.

These data sets were collected by Cornell University in collaboration with the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER). Questions about the data should be directed to Thomas Walker at twalker@worldbank.org.
