ISSER’s research projects represent the Institute’s applied, policy-oriented work addressing Ghana’s and Africa’s most pressing development challenges. Through collaborative studies, commissioned research, and long-term programmes, the Institute generates evidence to support effective policymaking, institutional reform, and sustainable development.

The projects showcased on this page span the three research divisions — Economics, Social, and Statistics & Survey — and cover thematic areas such as employment and livelihoods, environment and natural resource management, migration and urbanisation, governance, inequality, data systems, and economic transformation.

This project directory enables users to explore ongoing and completed studies, identify research partners, and access knowledge outputs. You may filter projects by start year or status, or select individual projects to view details, collaborators, and research focus.

Together, these initiatives reflect ISSER’s role as a national and regional research hub that translates academic research into practical policy solutions and development impact.
