A virtual consortium meeting was organized on the 3rd of December 2020 with the Ghanaian partners via Zoom. The participants of the consortium were German and Ghanaian project partners. The objectives of the consortium were to provide updates on the overall progress of the project activities and work packages, plan for the 1st stakeholder meeting in 2021, and to deliberate on the inclusion of informal settlements in the project activities in Ghana.

Data collection is currently the main challenge, as research visits to Ghana are not possible for the time being due to the COVID 19 pandemic.

The purpose of the training activities was to assist the interviewers to better understand the key components of surveys, clarify ethical issues, and pretest and better handle the survey tools.
