The Government of Ghana is dedicated to promoting economic growth that includes everyone and as outlined in the Coordinated Programme of Economic and Social Developemnt Policies (2017-2024), aims to integrate employment creation into the nation’s development and provide job opportunities for all Ghanaians. To achieve this goal, the government has prioritised investments in core infrastructure and launched flagship programs to increase access to jobs, promote entrepreneurship, and reduce obstacles to growth. However, extremely poor households often face challenges accessing these initiatives and basic services due to low literacy and lack of skills. Therefore, there is the need for safety net programs that support poor households to access services that  enhance their productivity and improve their incomes. The Ghana Productive Safety Net Project 2 (GPSNP2) which is a continuum of the Ghana Productive Safety Net Project and spanning the period 2022-2025 is thus being implemented with the goal of strengthening safety net systems in Ghana, improving the productivity of the poor, and building and enhancing the effectivness of the country’s  flagship social protection programs. The project is being implemented by the Ministry of Gender Children and Social Protection(MoGCSP) and the Ministry of Local Government, Decentralization and Rural Development(MLGDRD).

The GPSNP 2 has six(6) components as listed below:

1. Productive Inclusion

• Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty(LEAP)
• Cash Transfers and Ghana School Feeding Programme(GSFP) Payments
