The Ghanaian government is to undertake a project known as the Common Targeting System (CTS) to compile a credible single registry of all persons in the country who genuinely require social protection programmes.
The project, which is said to begin in January next year, is being led by the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MGCSP), and it is also to establish a database for any social intervention programme in the country.
Mr Mawutor Ablo, Director of Social Protection at MGCSP, announced this at a forum on social protection and social sector interventions within the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) zone in Tamale on Wednesday.
The forum was organised by the government with support from the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and attended by representatives of civil society organizations (CSOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) operating in the SADA zone.
The forum aimed to review the existing coordination mechanisms and on-going social protection programmes within the SADA zone with a view to scaling up and integrating these programmes for increased impact on the vulnerable.
The program is to help ensure easy identification of real people who needed social intervention programmes in the country.
