Commitment Title

Strengthening Social Protection Systems in Kaduna State

Problem

Despite investment in Social Protection, there is still a high rate of multi-dimensional Poverty in Kaduna state, and significant gaps in the provision of social protection services still exist in the state. This committee intends to bridge identified gaps in rendering social protection services in the state.

Status quo

- High poverty levels in the state.
- Weak coordination and working synergy among Social Protection implementing agencies.
- Poor access to education, health, and nutrition.

Action

- A dedicated budget line item for social protection programs.
- Operationalization of the Social Register as a primary database of the poor and vulnerable households for all pro-poor interventions.
- Establish an agency for social security.
- Establish a social security trust fund.
- Implementation of the Youth-focused Programs.

How will the commitment contribute to solving the public problem described above?

A life of dignity for all residents of Kaduna State by reducing the level of poverty in the state, increasing the number of vulnerable residents able to access social protection services on the basis of rights, and increasing the number of beneficiaries who graduate from the social register on account of an improved standard of living.

What long-term goal as identified in your Open Government Strategy does this commitment relate to?

Investing in Human Capital by building and empowering people for development and prosperity to provide a life of dignity for all.
