Project Collaborations & Partnerships
The Ghana Productive Safety Net Project 2 (GPSNP2) is implemented through a robust framework of strategic collaborations and institutional partnerships. Under the leadership of the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Rural Affairs (MLGCRA), the Project works closely with national ministries, decentralized government structures, technical agencies, development partners, and community-based institutions to ensure effective, transparent, and sustainable delivery of social protection interventions. Our partnership approach is anchored in formal coordination mechanisms, clearly defined institutional roles, and Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) that guide implementation, accountability, and performance monitoring.
Implementing Ministries
GPSNP2 is jointly implemented by:
- Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Rural Affairs (MLGCRA)– Responsible for the Productive Inclusion (PI), Labour-Intensive Public Works (LIPW), and part of Project Management components.
- Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MoGCSP)– Responsible for LEAP, Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP), and Social Protection Systems Strengthening components.
This joint implementation ensures integration between livelihood support, public works, and core social protection programmes.
National Coordination & Oversight
At the national level, collaboration is strengthened through:
- Project Oversight Committee (POC)– Provides policy and strategic guidance.
