CalBank PLC has donated an amount of GHS 10,000 to the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) to support the printing of Field Officer’s Manual (FOM) for the 2021 Population and Housing Census (PHC).

The FOM will be the reference document to be used for the training of the Field Officers to be deployed for the census exercise. The 321-paged manual is the outcome of a month-long collaborative efforts by key stakeholders, including management and staff of GSS, and faculty members from universities across the country.
