NEW COMERS TO GHANA

If you look at other posts you will see a lot of information on the cost of living. I presume you are getting a package so it all depends on what you have to pay for by yourself

Thanks

Hello Hakeem

Ghana is expensive. The economy is not stable , prices increases everyday. Country is also going through a major electricity crisis. So make sure yo employer takes care of generator n fuel expenses too.
If you are bachelor 1600 ghc should be good enough for your local expenses. If you are coming with your family 2500 GhC  is required.

I lived in Accra For around 2 years( 2013-2015). I enjoyed my stay there. Very safe and good places to visit.

Mrs. Nidhi,

Thanks for your response. I'm planning to move to Ghana alone. What I wanna know is that does GHC 1600 expenses include accommodation and meals or only accommodation? Because I'm still negotiating my salary with my employer.

I can't answer for Nidhi but you definitely would not be able to live here for 1600 cedis a month if you have to pay for accommodation and transport. 1600 cedis will cover food and entertainment and not much else
