Stakeholders in Osun State have called for the strengthening of social protection systems to ensure transparency, inclusivity, and sustainability of intervention programmes targeted at the vulnerable.
This was the major thrust of discussion at the Osun State Dialogue on Social Protection held on Thursday in Osogbo, organised by the New Initiative for Social Development (NISD) under the ACT Naija Project, co-funded by the European Union and Brot für die Welt, in partnership with the Osun State Ministry of Economic Planning and Budget.
While speaking, Dauda Gbadebo Iyanda, Director of Development Cooperation at the Ministry of Economic Planning and Budget, said social protection must be governed by a holistic and inclusive policy framework that caters to all age groups, from childhood to old age.
“Social protection interventions should be guided by a comprehensive policy and backed by law,” he said.
“All Ministries, Departments, and Agencies involved in social protection must work in synergy to achieve the desired results. If properly implemented, these interventions will reduce youth-related crises, empower women, and improve the state’s socio-economic wellbeing.”
