Each is owned today, earns today, and can carry Ghana toward seven basic standards of living for every citizen.
35.1mCitizens, 2025
59 in every hundred live in towns and cities; the rest live on the land they farm and fish.
55.4%Of land in farms and pasture
The land that feeds the nation, and the first place a citizen dividend can be earned.
30.9%Of land under forest
Standing forest holds the water, soil and carbon that the world will pay to keep.
914 m³Renewable fresh water per person
Below the scarcity line of 1,000 cubic metres: every drop must be stored, treated and reused.
34.9%Of energy from renewables, 2021

Perfect Capita is the yearly cost, per person, of lifting everyone above the Living Line in all seven basic living standards, set with Ghana in its own prices.
How Perfect Capita worksTap a star for its figure and source.
The price of Perfect Ghana
To be set with Ghana, from its own figures and in its own prices: Perfect Capita times the people of Ghana, each year.
Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Ghana. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures
Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group. Each figure links to its source.
