Abstract
Data over the last years has become essential to everyday living. It is worth exploring how
data and modern-day technology could solve everyday issues in the world. Like every other
African country, Ghana boasts a sizeable informal employment sector, so large a sector the
correct percentage is always a debate amongst statisticians. Inadequate resources and data
have, however, hampered the revenue that could be collected from our informal sector.
Ghana is estimated to lose $45 million from the informal sector per annum. Therefore this
question comes to bare: how can we use data from the large informal sector to boost revenue
collection in the various districts? This project explores data collection, visualisation and
forecasting to enhance revenue mobilisation in the Ajumako-Enyan Essiam District. This
work hopes to encourage the use of data science tools and machine learning algorithms in
government services and uses the Ajumako Enyan-Essiam District as its case study.
