Gender Ministry deploys teams nationwide to monitor LEAP cash grant payments

The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection has deployed monitoring teams across Ghana’s 16 regions to assess the disbursement of cash grants under the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) programme and address challenges affecting beneficiaries.

LEAP is a key component of Ghana’s social protection system, providing cash assistance to extremely poor and vulnerable households, including those with older persons without support, persons with severe disabilities and orphaned and vulnerable children.

The Ministry says the ongoing exercise will help identify gaps in grant delivery, improve service efficiency and strengthen accountability across the programme.
