Government’s financing of social protection initiatives dismal

Abstract

Vulnerabilities within the economy are many, and females are at a higher disadvantage. The need for multi-faced interventions from both state and non-state actors is essential in addressing various vulnerabilities within different social groups.While there are recognised efforts from government to protect its citizens, the limited coordination in financing priorities are not reflecting this. Such that despite expenditure allocations to domestic development in social sectors increasing, the finances allocated to Social Protection by government are still very low for the programmes to achieve social inclusiveness nationally.
