ABSTRACT: No one likes a stressful living. Unfortunately, that is all COVID-19
brings to humanity. The impact of stringent restrictions due to COVID-19 has
led to the overwhelming human tragedy in every region of the world including
Ghana. The study explores what next for the Ghanaian household consumption
after the pandemic is over in the country, especially the measures the
individual stakeholders are going to lay down for the recovery of the economic,
reliable livelihood with enough household food consumption and prevention of
future pandemics in the region. The data source was from the Ghana Statistical
Service, Epidemic-Sats.Com, Knoema.com, and the United Nations (FAO and WHO). The study suggests potential
resolutions for post-COVID-19 and/or effective channels for the Ghanaian
government and the other institutions as to what to do to sustain the household
consumption from here.
