About US:
The Ministry of
Gender, Labour and Social Development (MGLSD) has championed efforts to promote
a coordinated approach to social protection in Uganda. These efforts culminated
in the design of the Expanding Social Protection (ESP) programme that has been
implemented by the GoU under the MGLSD with financial and technical support
from GoU, DFID, Irish Aid and UNICEF. Its goal is to reduce chronic poverty and
improve life chances for poor men, women and children in Uganda. The purpose is
to embed a national social protection system, including social assistance for
the poorest and most vulnerable, as a core element of Uganda’s national
planning and budgeting processes. Phase I of the ESP programme was implemented
through a Social Protection Secretariat which was established in 2010 under the
Directorate of Social Protection of the Ministry. The objectives of Phase I
included piloting Social Assistance Grants in 15 districts and capacity
building. ESP is now transitioning to Phase II in which the program will expand
to cover a total of 55 districts during the next five years and be implemented
by a Programme Management Unit (PMU).
