Adamawa State Leads Effort to Institutionalize Social Protection Bills in North East Nigeria
Adamawa State Government in Nigeria is spearheading the institutionalization of social protection bills in the North East region. The state's comprehensive social protection bill received a boost from stakeholders during a public hearing in Yola.
The initiative, supported by organizations like GIZ, the EU, and BMZ, seeks to establish a rights-based inclusive social protection system to protect vulnerable populations from poverty and shocks. The process involves developing a legal framework, defining institutional roles, funding mechanisms, and governance structures for effective implementation of social protection initiatives.
Stakeholders expressed strong support for the bill as a transformative step towards ensuring social protection as a legal right for all.
