Ghanaians look to one another and the government to protect  the environment 

A majority of Ghanaians say ordinary citizens are responsible for reducing pollution and  keeping their communities clean, while some place that responsibility on the local and  national government, the latest Afrobarometer survey shows.  

Citizens consider pollution a serious problem and cite trash disposal, sanitation, and  water pollution as the most important environmental issues in their communities. Most say  plastic bags are a major source of pollution. 

A majority of citizens rate the government’s performance on reducing pollution and  protecting the environment as poor. 

Per the survey, almost two-thirds (64%) of Ghanaians say pollution is a “somewhat serious” or “very  serious” problem in their community. 

Citizens say trash and plastic disposal (cited by 31%), sanitation or human waste  management (26%), and pollution of water sources (16%) are the most important environmental issues in their community.

Fully four out of five respondents (81%) of the survey say plastic bags are a major source of  pollution in Ghana.

Almost six in 10 Ghanaians (57%) say the primary responsibility for reducing pollution  and keeping communities clean rests with local citizens. Far fewer would assign that  responsibility to their local (21%) or national (14%) government.

Only about three in 10 citizens (29%) think the government is doing a good job of  reducing pollution and protecting the environment, while a majority (66%) rate the  government’s efforts poorly. 

Afrobarometer surveys 

Afrobarometer is a pan-African, non-partisan survey research network that provides reliable  data on African experiences and evaluations of democracy, governance, and quality of life. 

Eight survey rounds in up to 39 countries have been completed since 1999. Round 9 surveys  (2021/2023) are currently underway.

Afrobarometer’s national partners conduct face-to face interviews in the language of the respondent’s choice.
