The aim of this study is to understand the complexity of child poverty in Ghana by investigating children's access to various goods and services crucial for their long-term development. It is also aimed at establishing the baseline for measuring part of target indicator 1.2.2 of the SDGs, which seeks to “reduce by half, the proportion of children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definitions”. In addition, the profile of the most vulnerable Ghanaian children will be drawn based on various socio-economic, household and geographic characteristics to guide the development of evidence-based policies, programmes and projects to address the specific needs of children.
