Several activities under component 1: Institutional Reform and Organizational change have been initiated. Staff have been transfered to fit into the new organizational structure of GSS. 12 staff members pursuing masters' degree courses in economics, statistics, demography/population and labor studies. Discussions have been concluded to integrate some staff to the Local Government Service. Sensitization workshop was organized for staff to be integrated into the Local Government Service. 7 members of staff participated in short term workshops/seminars to sharpen their skills. A buyout manual to guide GSS on the modalities to be used for buyout was developed by the GSS in collaboration with the local chapter of theTrade Union Congress and a preliminary analysis of payments to be made for all the staff on the buyout was undertaken. A new National Statistics Bill has been prepared. Under component 2a, activities implemented were trainings and workshops in networking environment software, in economics and microeconomic analysis, in modelling and forecasting, in International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC), in Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) assessment and in Android Mobile Application.. For Sub-component 2b, a post-census cartographic mapping was carried out with the objective of updating all the enumeration area (EA) maps and size established during the 2010 Population and Housing Census (PHC). In addition, and an economic census (generally referred to as the Integrated Business Establishment Survey) to establish the business register was carried out. The business register is expected to be finalized at the end of the first quarter of 2015. Data is yet to be produced under component 3 but several preparatory activities are under way. A decision was made to adopt a system for producing high frequency data on poverty by using the survey to survey imputation method. Training on the ssytem for selected GSS staff by the Bank would be carriend during the first quarter of 2015. The Ministry of Education is training staff to undertake a nationawide an annual School Census. The Ministry of Health is conducting a Maternal Deaths Survey to provide in-depth knowledge of the causes of maternal deaths in Ghana. The objectives are to document the perspective of communities on causes of maternal deaths to feed into policy formulation on maternal health and also to address possible inadequacies in the implementation of maternal health policies. The Birth and Death Registry has initiated a process to capture an initial backlog of over 200,000 entries from 2000-2012 to enable the Registry migrate them into the national electronic database. The objective of the exercise is to convert the manual registration entries into electronic files for proper storage and retrieval. Under component 4 the project management unit is coordinating all the 9 MDAs benefiting under the project and the draft annual work plan for all the 9 MDAs and GSS was prepared.
