Commitment Title
Inclusion: Strengthening Social Protection System in Kaduna State
Problem
Despite several efforts by the government, significant gaps in the provision of social protection services still exist in the state. Social protection is about upholding human dignity and promoting the overall wellbeing of individuals amidst socioeconomic adversity. This commitment intends to bridge identified gaps in rendering social protection services in the state.
Status quo
- High poverty levels in the state.
- Incoherent strategy towards addressing poverty, vulnerability, and social exclusion.
- Poor access to education, health and nutrition
Action
- Kaduna State government has committed itself by putting in place a social protection policy.
- A dedicated budget line item (1% of consolidated revenue) to social protection programmes.
- Approval of the Social Register as primary database of the poor and vulnerable household for all pro-poor interventions. Further Commitments are:
- Establish an agency for social protection.
- Establish a social security trust fund.
- Develop and forward an Executive Bill on Social Protection to the State House of Assembly.
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, increase the number of vulnerable residents able to access social protection services on the basis of right and increase the number of beneficiaries who graduate from the social register on account of improved standard of living.
What long-term goal as identified in your Open Government Strategy does this commitment relate to?
To provide a life of dignity for all.
