The Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) is Ghana’s national cash transfer Programme and key part of the Social Protection (SP) system that is recognized under the SP policy. The overall objective of the Programme is to reduce poverty by increasing consumption and promoting access to social services among the extremely poor and vulnerable. Rigorous evidence shows the impressive impacts of LEAP on improving the lives of very poor households and their communities. LEAP households have increased their consumption by 67 percent, using the transfer to improve quantity and quality of food. In addition to food security and diversity, LEAP supports households to better access social services and make investments in their children. The research also shows that LEAP households are better able to invest in productive activities –livestock, fertilizer, improved seeds and small businesses.
