Overview
Abstract
In July 1992, the NHDSS was established as an important platform for launching health research in the KNDs of northern Ghana. The objectives were to monitor the demographic dynamics of the population, provide sampling frame for various research studies in the Centre and to serve as a platform for monitoring and evaluating the impact of various interventions.

Coverage
Geographic Coverage
The Navrongo Health and Demographic Surveillance System (NHDSS) site is located in the Kassena-Nankana District of the Upper East region of Ghana. The district covers an area of 1675 km2 along the Ghana-Burkina Faso border. It measures roughly 55 km x 50 km and has an altitude of 200-400 m above sea level. The land is fairly flat, and passing through it from Burkina Faso is the White Volta River, which feeds Lake Volta (the world's largest artificial lake) in southern Ghana. Located in the Guinea savannah belt, the district is typically Sahelian (hot and dry).
Universe
All resident population. The NHDSS now covers two (2) Districts, Kassena-Nankana West (KNW) and the Kassena-Nankana East Municipality (KNEM). The Micro Data set covers only the KNEM.
