The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection has taken a significant step towards strengthening social protection systems in Ghana.

A two-day workshop was organized for selected journalists and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to educate them on social protection systems, with a focus on the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) program.

The workshop, held at the Capital View Hotel in Koforidua, Eastern Region, brought together experts from various fields, including Journalists in Social Protection (JISOP), Inclusion Ghana, academia, and the leadership of the LEAP Management Secretariat.

Facilitators at the event took participants through the history of social protection systems and LEAP, success stories of LEAP, the role of social partners, and planned actions for LEAP.
