Cost Of Relocating Permanently To Ghana by Roccoandrocco(m): 12:48pm On Apr 22, 2016
Been considering relocating to another West African country, Ghana being one of the countries high on my list, but I have no idea about the financial implications, can anyone here living in Ghana shed a little light on these? And also how similar is the standard of living in both countries.

It's a good thing that you're considering moving to Ghana. Your safety and peace is a surety in this great nation. To begin with, I will like you to know the exchange rate first so that you can draw your own conclusions: $1 = 3.8 Cedis. If you're cool with that, then let me shed some light on the living standards in all regions in the country. The standard of living in Accra and Tema(Both cities in the Greater Accra region) is higher compared to most part of the country. This is because it is more cosmopolitan and vibrant compared to the other cities, and it also serves as the major economic hub of the country.
Next, Kumasi(Ashanti region) and Takoradi(Western region) seems to be on par in terms of cost of living. Kumasi is more of a business district where as Takoradi is the oil city of the country. Ho(Volta region), Koforidua(Eastern region), Cape Coast(Central region) and Sunyani(Brong Ahafo region) all seem to tie on cost of living although all these regions play different roles in the country. The cheapest places to live are in the north of Ghana: Wa(Upper West region), Bolgatanga(Upper East region) and Tamale(Northern region) although the latter is more economically vibrant compared to the aforementioned two.

yeah it is per month. 150 Cedis can only get you a single room self contained building. If you want an accommodation that has two or more rooms, then you will have to pay more. You can check the housing section of www.tonaton.com or www.olx.com.gh and you might find some good deals there.
