From opaque PDFs to actionable intelligence
At PAL we are determined to turn Ghana's fragmented MMDA documents into a clean, comparable, and searchable data layer.
We go get the data so you don't have to.
Every year, Ghana's district assemblies produce hundreds of budget documents. These budget documents are scattered across government portals, buried in PDF files, and formatted differently each time. Our aim is to collect all of it, from all 261 assemblies, and bring it into one place automatically.
- Every district budget, in one place
- Updated as new documents are released
We turn raw numbers into something that actually makes sense.
Raw budget documents are full of numbers that mean nothing without context. We clean the data and apply consistent standards across every district.
- Consistent standards applied across all districts
- Spending compared fairly across regions and years
- Data quality flagged so you always know what to trust
Now you have what you need to ask the right questions.
Whether you are a citizen wondering why the road hasn't been fixed, a journalist following the money, or a policymaker deciding where resources should go next — PAL gives you the evidence to make your case and the tools to share it.
