In the social protection sector, such support also entails strengthening systems that support the use of cash transfers programmes to empower people to meet their essential needs in social protection. There is potential for such programmes to also contribute to longer-term objectives such as digital financial inclusion (DFI) and women’s economic empowerment (WEE), when deliberately designed to do so.

As such, WFP has a very important responsibility to uphold and ensure that our collaboration on social protection is strengthened, and systems that support social protection are functioning to deliver the best support. More and more, capacity strengthening thresholds are expanding, and WFP is committed to exploring all the thresholds to benefit all people living in Ghana.
