The Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Otiko Afisah Djabah, has said in order to sustain and deepen the data collection on extremely poor households, the government of Ghana through the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection established the Ghana National Household Registry, (GNHR). 

She said the move is to ensure that social protection benefits get to the people who really need them for production inclusion where the government will leave nobody out or behind. 

She said targeting is very critical in Social Protection as it seeks to correctly and efficiently identify the recipients of social benefits.  

Speaking at the launch of the GNHR at Pusiga in the Upper East Region, Madam Otiko Djabah said the GNHR aims to enhance transparency and accountability in selecting beneficiaries of social protection programs across MMDAs by establishing a credible, up-to-date single national household registry that will ensure efficiency and coordination in implementation of social protection.
