<p>In March 2008, the Government of Ghana launched the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) program to reduce poverty in extremely poor households. Previous studies have shown that the impacts of the LEAP program include poverty reduction, increased school enrolment, reduced child labor, improved healthcare access, and enhanced household consumption levels, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children and older adults. However, there remains a gap in qualitative assessments of the impact of the LEAP program from the perspectives of LEAP beneficiaries and officials across the country. To address this knowledge gap, this study investigated the experiences of LEAP beneficiaries and officials in Ghana’s 16 regions. This study used secondary data from the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, involving eighty LEAP beneficiaries and sixteen LEAP officials spread across the 16 regions of the country. The results revealed that the LEAP program enhanced the well-being of its beneficiaries and their households such as educating their children, reducing household hunger and marital conflicts, investing in cash crop production, and increasing household access to healthcare. However, the LEAP program had some challenges, including delays in cash disbursement and replacing deceased beneficiaries, recipients not utilizing the grants for intended purposes, and the inadequacy of grants. This study recommends that the National LEAP Secretariat should integrate its database with that of the National Identification Authority (NIA) so it can use the biometric system of the NIA to periodically verify beneficiary identities to ensure deceased beneficiaries on the program can be identified and removed.</p>
