The Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Nana Oye Lithur has called on the International Community to support the Ministry’s efforts at developing Ghana’s Social Protection System to facilitate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, SDG on Social development. 

She said the support should also focus on addressing the inequality gap to enhance social cohesion and achievement of the SDGs. 

Mrs. Lithur made the appeal as the Head of the Ghana delegation at the on-going 54th UN Session on Social Development in New York. 

She expressed the belief that the support will strengthen social protection in various Countries and better fasten the pace of alleviating poverty.

Speaking on the theme: “Rethinking and Strengthening Social Development in Contemporary World”, Mrs. Lithur reiterated her call on the developed Countries to recognize the need to help build capacities of development partners, government agencies and civil society on Social protection systems as they provide adequate funds to support its implementation. 

Mrs. Lithur used the opportunity to brief the International Community on Ghana’s strides with regards to Social Protection Interventions.

That was the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Nana Oye Lithur at the 54th UN Session on Social Development in New York.
