Gender Minister checks LEAP payments in Adenta, urges caregivers to protect beneficiaries’ grants
The Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, has inspected the ongoing Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) payments in the Adenta Municipality to ensure that grants reach the households targeted under the programme.
Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, toured the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) payment process in Adenta Municipality to ensure funds reach targeted households. She consulted with beneficiaries, caregivers, and municipal officials, observing the payment procedure and gathering beneficiary feedback.
Two payment cycles were given to beneficiaries - one to two members received GH¢784, three to four members received GH¢984, five or more members received GH¢1,260 with vulnerability and GH¢1,188 without. Newly enrolled households were also included in the reassessment. The expansion of LEAP required close monitoring to ensure public funds reach intended recipients.
Dr Lartey urged caregivers to use the grants only for the intended beneficiaries and encouraged beneficiaries to spend the grants wisely on household needs. She appealed to local officials and caregivers to protect the system's integrity and provided contact details for beneficiaries with payment-related concerns.
