National Social Protection Secretariat

The Gambia government has recognized the importance of social protection and has prioritized it in their National Development Plan 2018-2021. Their long-term vision, outlined in the National Social Protection Policy (NSPP), aims to establish a comprehensive and inclusive social protection system that provides various measures to safeguard the lives of the poor and vulnerable while contributing to human development, economic productivity, and inclusive growth. Since 2012, significant progress has been made, including the establishment of a National Social Protection Steering Committee, diagnostic assessments, formulation of the NSPP and its implementation plan, as well as the establishment of the National Social Protection Secretariat in 2019 to lead and coordinate the sector.
