Introduced in 2008 by the Government of Ghana, the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) is a cash transfer programme made to persons in extreme poverty which is aimed at reducing poverty by increasing and smoothening consumption and promoting access to services and opportunities among the extremely poor and vulnerable.
The Ministry in a press release announced that both the 85th and 86th cycles of the programme will be jointly paid to beneficiaries.
“The Ministry wishes to inform the LEAP beneficiaries and its stakeholders across the country that the bi-monthly cash grant payment for the 85th and 86th cycles starts on the 4th of September 2023. The two cycles will be paid jointly to beneficiary households.”
