UNICEF Ghana, Ipsos and a number of ministries collaborated on a initiative aiming to fill in the evidence gaps related to children’s online risks and opportunities and to create new strategies for child protection in Ghana. The study included qualitative and quantitative research with children aged 9 to 17 and their parents.

 

The study of children’s online experiences in Ghana was carried out by UNICEF Ghana in collaboration with the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry for Gender, Children and Social Protection, and Ipsos. It involved a survey with 2,000 children aged 9 to 17 years and 1,000 parents with pre-determined quotas by location, gender, and age of the child. In addition, in-depth interviews and focus groups were conducted with children, parents, internet providers, policymakers and stakeholders from the government and civil society organisations.
