LEAP payments begin nationwide as government targets 450,000 beneficiary households

The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MoGCSP) has begun nationwide payments to eligible households under the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) programme. This marks the start of a "reset" of the programme aimed at improving targeting, transparency, and effectiveness. LEAP provides financial assistance to extremely poor and vulnerable households to help them meet basic needs, improve food security, and access healthcare and education.

The reassessment exercise identified approximately 450,000 households to be enrolled in the programme, with payments being rolled out in phases. Beneficiaries are advised not to panic if they do not receive their payments immediately and to report any issues through established grievance channels.
