Why It Matters
LEAP is Ghana’s flagship cash‑transfer programme aimed at reducing extreme poverty. By inspecting payments on the ground, the Gender Ministry seeks to ensure that public funds are delivered to the right households and that caregivers do not divert money. Effective monitoring strengthens the programme’s credibility, supports vulnerable families, and helps the government meet its poverty‑reduction targets.
