Accra

ACCRAManage supplier listing

A multi-vertical, weekly-refreshed cost-of-living panel for Greater Accra, Ghana — not a single price list. Headline asset is the 'Makola basket': a fixed 10-staple household basket (rice, palm oil, tomato, plantain, yam, onion, eggs, tilapia, chicken, bread) priced weekly with a documented sampling protocol — field collection every Tuesday-Wednesday, at least three sellers per item, median quote taken, outliers dropped — benchmarked across open markets (Makola, Madina, Kaneshie, Agbogbloshie and rotating sites) against supermarkets, where the same basket costs materially more. Breadth beyond the basket: 21 tracked items across 3 categories with per-item price-by-market, seasonal outlook and long-run history; plus 16 verticals total — live cedi forex rates including bureau rates, pump fuel prices by OMC, rent medians by neighbourhood, school fees across 4 tiers, ECG power tariffs, trotro transit fares by route, student hostel fees, mobile data bundle pricing ranked across MTN/Telecel/AT, and Ghana T-bill auction rates with a calculator. Supporting layers include a documented crop/seasonal calendar that flags which items are in their typically-cheaper months, and a week-over-week change log of fares, fees, prices, tariffs and deals.

Type

Format
Text + tabular — an editorial data-journalism website. Prices, rates and medians are rendered as HTML tables and narrative explainer pages with per-item pages carrying price-by-market, seasonal outlook and history; a 'what changed this week' change-log view aggregates week-over-week movements across verticals. No API, no bulk download, no dataset endpoint, and no account system. A licence today would require a scrape-and-restructure or a bespoke file feed, which is itself part of the negotiation.
Volume
Small in observations, unusual in dimensions. Basket layer: 10 items x 8 complete priced baskets to date, with 21 items across 3 categories tracked at item level and 5 markets priced. Dashboard layer, per the site's own footer counters: 16 verticals, 45 neighbourhoods, 15 schools, 5 markets, 15 trotro routes, 20 hostels, 49 T-bill auctions. Order of magnitude: low thousands of distinct structured datapoints across the whole dashboard, refreshed weekly, plus the forex and fuel feeds that update more frequently than the weekly cadence. The value is the cross-vertical dimensional coverage of one city, not row count.
Users
N/A — an open-access editorial data dashboard with no account system, no login and no subscription; there is no registered user base to count.

Growth
Active and actively expanding, but with an internal cadence inconsistency worth testing before contracting. Expansion evidence: the basket panel is explicitly being widened to compare the same basket across Madina, Kaneshie, Agbogbloshie and other major markets, the site describes itself as being built 'one vertical at a time' with more pages arriving in later stages, and the vertical count stands at 16. Cadence evidence is mixed: the prices page headers a 'weekly refresh as of 18 Jul 2026' while the seasonal copy on the same page discusses October conditions, and the current week is a 'single-market week — comparison returns with the next full refresh', while the change-log for the last 14 days showed no recorded events. So the verticals are growing; weekly completeness is uneven.
Launched
~2026 — the basket time series itself dates the product's price-tracking era precisely: earliest complete basket priced 19 March 2026, with only 8 complete baskets accumulated since. The parent, Blackcedar Media Limited, is older (its CEO has held the role since January 2019), so accra.cool is a recent data-product launch by an established media company rather than a new company. No launch announcement or copyright year is published.
