The Kaduna State Social Protection Policy which was put together by the State Steering Committee on Social Investment reflects the state government’s commitment to inclusive governance that leaves no one behind, regardless of cultural, ethnic, religious or partisan affiliations, but provides equal opportunity for residents to live productive and dignifying lives. Social protection is a paramount public policy objective, designed to respond to the consequences of challenging social and economic challenges. The rising levels of poverty worsened by the outbreak of COVID-19 and the lockdown imposed to contain the spread of the disease, deprivation and destitution, maternal and child mortality, youth unemployment, the poor state of our education and healthcare, the widening levels of inequality and many other challenges that constitute the everyday experience of vulnerable residents of the State define the peculiarly desperate complexion of these times.
