I do not have prior knowledge about how to acquire my desired data or shape files for specific area of interest. I have gone through series of Youtube videos but I have not gotten the right or direct instructions on bow to go about it. I would be glad if I can be assisted. Ps I have to submit a suitability analysis paper by 8th october. 🤞
Downloading shapefiles, rasta data and other materials for analysis

Hello, Mr. Soyire,
The data you require can be obtained from the Land Use and Spatial Planning Authority in the Wa Municipal Assembly.
You could also acquire the data from the following sources:
Soil Data: https://soilgrids.org/
Climate Data (Rainfall and Temperature) : https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/global-maps
NB: Kindly note that, the above data sources are on a global scale, thus you can extract data for your specified region.
Attached is also some available data for Ghana.

The slope of an area is usually computed from topographic data or a digital elevation model. Based on the GIS tool you are using, the procedure would be different. But within the Spatial Analysis toolbox of ARCGIS, there is a tool for determining the slope of an area based on specified parameters which are defined by the analyst.
