Ghana just released their census numbers. It's very interesting as it's the most typical West African country, the region we find one of the highest fertility rates in the world.

------------------------------------ 2021 ---------- 2010 ---------- 2000 ------------ Growth ----------- Density

GHANA ---------------------- 30,792,608 -- 24,658,823 -- 18,912,079 ----- 24.9% --- 30.4% ----- 129.1 inh./km²

Accra ------------------------- 5,446,237 ---- 4,010,054 ---- 2,905,726 ----- 35.8% --- 38.0% --- 1,678.3 inh./km²

Ghana crossed the 30 million mark and population growth had slowed down quite a bit. Accra is increasing its share on Ghana's total population (from 15% to 18%) and that will certainly help slowing down their growth.

Overall, it's a positive trend. Less presure on the local environment and probably will see a faster rising on living standards there.
