The World Bank's Partnership for Economic Inclusion organized a Social Protection South-South Learning Forum in Rwanda from February 10-14, 2025.
This year's event, which is the eighth iteration of the forum and was hosted in the Rwandan capital, Kigali, was under the theme "Economic Inclusion: Scaling up Pathways to Better Jobs for the Poor," The forum brought together more than 270 participants, drawn from nearly 60 countries comprising policymakers, government practitioners and partners from around the world.
The event provided opportunity for peer-to-peer learning, focusing on scaling evidence-based economic inclusion through government programmes, drawing from the State of Economic Inclusion Report, which was launched in the last quarter of 2025.
As a country implementing a flagship economic inclusion program under the Ghana Productive Safety Net Project that has to date enrolled over 60,000 beneficiaries, Ghana was invited to participate in the 5-day event and share its experiences with participants and also learn lessons from other global practitioners and partners that could be applied in improving implementation towards the achievement of project outcomes.
