How To find more information as an expatriate
WELCOME TO GHANA !
ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION FOR EXPATRIATES
Expatriate oriented publications Other publications
Being informed is the key to success in general and especially when moving to and/or living in a new foreign country. It is even truer in a developing country.
Besides all the live and non-live information you can get here on accraexpat.com on a daily basis, you can find in this How To page what we advice to have and use as additional resources, both print and online. For news about Ghana, please refer to the “How To keep posted with Ghana news” page. Expatriate-oriented publications No Worries Ghana No Worries Ghana is published of the North American Women Association (NAWA) as a part of its fund-raising efforts. It is the result of considerable work, compiling recommended businesses and service providers, mostly located in Accra, in numerous categories. Along with a few tips, theses listings are handy to expatriates. The book has been first published in 1998 and then in 2001, 2007, 2010 and 2013. The last updated and 6th edition was released in November 2016. Buy the new No Worries Ghana at upscale hotels and supermarkets as well as Global Mama's and Vidya Bookstore in Osu and Wild Gecko (GHS 60.00 retail price). For bulk purchases, you can contact us. OILcity Magazine for expats in Takoradi Dust is fun, informative, and interactive. The magazine feature strong images and littered with words that people can actually relate to.

DUST Magazine is distributed at the following places: To subscribe (for GHS 5.00 per issue) please contact subscription@dustaccra.com Any other type of magazine published in Ghana, such as Enjoy Accra (a free monthly social and advertising publication), may be interesting to browse. When you are newcomer, any content or advertisement should be considered as a potential source of information.
No Worries Ghana from NAWA is more than a book: it is a website too, that was fully overhauled in the summer of 2010: www.noworriesghana.com.
Check your embassy’s website as it may have Citizen Pages with useful information for their nationals living in Ghana that may be of interest to others as well. You may surf on the numerous international websites dedicated to expatriates and visit the Ghana pages and Forums when they exist. Same with the websites of the major travel guides. A few can be found in our Links page.
...and your fellow Expatriates Remember that expatriates are a great source of information as well. The community in Ghana is large and diversified, not dominated by one national group, like the French in Ivory Coast.
Listening to other’s experiences in Ghana is always great learning and a good source of tips. When meeting and talking with another expatriate, try to go beyond the usual “where are you from”, “what do you do” and “how long have you been here”.
Beside detailed information, always ask expatriates who have experience with Ghana what they think of the country, its people and what general advice they can give you. What you will be told will generally be very interesting as such and this diverse information put together will help you benchmark your own and evolve in your knowledge of and opinion about Ghana.
This will help you considerably, both personally and professionally.
