Youth and Oil & Gas Governance inGhanaAnother precondition was the aim to reach people from all regionsin Ghana which means that in all 10 administrative regionsthe questionnaires should be given out to urban as well as to ruralpopulation.With these preconditions, staff members of FES in cooperationwith you-net designed the five-page questionnaire (see appendix).The questions were mostly asked in a closed way which meansthat respondents could tick boxes of given answers, because thismakes the analysis of the data much easier. Also, it was assumedthat closed questions would enable the field coordinators toconduct much more questionnaires because it takes less time totick boxes than to write full answers. The only open question inthe questionnaire is Question no. 5, in which the respondent isasked to list possible conflicts between oil companies and the localcommunity. This question was asked in an open way because theauthors of the survey wanted to get ideas from the people aboutthis matter and did not want to influence the respondent with anygiven answers.The closed questions were posed in two ways. Firstly, there weregrammatical questions in which the respondent had different optionsto choose (questions 2, 4, 8 and 11). This methodology wasapplied, when it was aimed to make a ranking of the most givenanswers afterwards. For example in question four, the authorsthought of different possibilities, what the oil revenue could beused for. In total, eleven options were given and each respondentcould tick a maximum of five answers. In the analysis it could thenbe found out which answers were mostly ticked and therefore themost important issues could be identified. However, the respondentalso had the possibility to give their individual answers underthe option “others”.The second kind of closed questions were grammatical statementson which the respondent could then give her/his opinion by decidingbetween five answer-boxes: “strongly agree”, “agree”, “notsure”, “disagree”, strongly disagree”. The main reason for thismethodology again was the simplification of the data analysis. By44
asking for opinions on statements, it was easy to derive trends ofopinions from a large number of people to certain issues and atthe same time get a picture which was more complex than a trendconsisting simply of “yes” and “no”-answers.With regards to content, the questionnaire was structured ascoherent as possible. Therefore, the researchers classified certainissues, like “consequences of oil discovery and usage of oil revenue”or “personal interest and involvement in oil policy”. Thequestions about personal information were consciously put at theend of the questionnaire, because this is the most delicate part toanswer for the respondent. Indeed, in the survey all respondentsstayed anonymous. The questionnaire only collected personalinformation such as age, sex, level of education and occupation.Because of the high sample size (6000) and the different educationalbackgrounds respondents, the questionnaire had to bedesigned in a way that could easily be understood. Therefore thequestions were formulated in a very simple way meaning withfew words and without complicated vocabulary. The use of closedquestions/statements also enabled the field coordinators to askpeople and then tick the answers themselves, in cases where therespondent was illiterate. An attached briefing paper also enabledthe coordinators to translate the questions into local languagesif necessary.Before the questionnaires were given to the printer, a test run washeld with 20 young people. After the test run, the feedback of theparticipants was acknowledged and new suggestions and changeswere included for the final version of the questionnaire.Distribution of Questionnaires and Administration in the FieldAs mentioned before, the goal for the study was to get answersfrom all over the country. It was clear beforehand that in total6000 questionnaires would be printed. In order not to distort theresults of the study, it was taken into consideration that the populationis not equally spread throughout the country. For examplethere are 3.6 million people in the Ashanti Region while there are45Chapter 3
