The World Bank is supporting the Government of Ghana in developing and implementing social protection programs that can help the country sustain economic growth, reduce poverty, improve its lower-middle-income status; and ultimately impact the lives and livelihood of many Ghanaians.
These include: productive inclusion, short term employment through labour intensive public works, cash transfers to smoothen consumption, and systems such as the call centre to enhance grievance redress mechanisms for beneficiaries of the safety nets programs as well as grievance on gender-based violence, and other gender-related issues across the country; and the Ghana National Household Registry to improve targeting.
As a result, over a million lives have been improved, even as more continue to be done to ascertain a better and safer future for ghanaians.
