Data were collected in research areas along main migration corridors of Ghana. This dataset contains data from household level and individuals at the areas of origin as well as data from individual migrants originating from these locations at their respective areas of destination. The same multi-local baseline survey was also conducted by fellow researchers of the Mitra|WA-project in other parts of Ghana (e.g. Ashanti Region and Upper West Region), Burkina Faso, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. The dataset provided here consists of two tables with data from the Area of Origin (AoO) and one table from the Area of Destination (AoD). While each of the individual tables contain valuable information on respective households and migration aspects, the three tables combined mirror the translocal methodological principle of the multi-local baseline survey. They provide a valuable starting point to identify and analyse translocal struc-tures and processes, which are highly relevant in West Africa.
