Gender Ministry launches new strategy to strengthen Ghana's crisis response
The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MoGCSP) has launched the National Shock-Responsive Social Protection Strategy (NSRSPS), marking a major step toward building a more resilient system to protect vulnerable populations during crises. The strategy was unveiled under the theme "From Preparedness to Resilience: Strengthening Shock-Responsive Social Protection Systems in Ghana."

The Chief Director of MoGCSP, Marian W. A. Kpakpah, described the NSRSPS as a comprehensive framework to guide national response efforts. The Chairperson for the event, Director-General of the National Development Planning Commission, Audrey Smock Amoah, underscored the urgency of the initiative, noting that crises are no longer occasional but persistent challenges.
Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, on behalf of President John Mahama, officially launched the strategy together with its Standard Operating Procedures and Implementation Plan. Esther Oduraa Ofei-Aboagye highlighted its core pillars, risk anticipation, preparedness, rapid response, and recovery. Marian W. A.
