Lunch Session III: Social Safety Nets for the Vulnerable

Social Safety Nets for the Vulnerable

Establishing robust social safety nets for vulnerable populations in Nigeria is not only a moral imperative but an economic necessity. These safety nets, encompassing targeted cash transfers, food assistance, and healthcare support, provide a buffer against poverty, enhance resilience, and promote equitable growth. By addressing immediate needs, such as basic sustenance and healthcare, these programmes empower marginalised communities to effectively participate in the economic landscape.
