The Government of Ghana is set to establish a Social Protection Fund to safeguard the welfare of the country’s most vulnerable citizens.
The establishment of the fund is a standout feature of the new legislation passed by Parliament, dubbed the Social Protection Bill 2025.
According to proponents of the bill, the creation of the Social Protection Fund will serve as a financial backbone for emergency responses and essential welfare initiatives.
The fund is designed to ensure sustainable financing for ongoing social protection programmes, particularly during economic downturns and humanitarian crises.
Its creation marks a proactive step towards safeguarding the welfare of vulnerable citizens in times of need.
As Ghana moves forward with this legislation, many hope that the Social Protection Fund and the integrated programmes will not only enhance the quality of life for vulnerable groups but also foster a sense of security and stability across the nation.
