Nigeria social protection and poverty reduction initiatives

Overview

The Nigerian government has initiated a series of social welfare and poverty reduction efforts under the Renewed Hope Initiative. Early efforts focused on the RHI Food Outreach Programme, which expanded to Bauchi State, marking the 29th state to receive food assistance for vulnerable groups, including persons with disabilities.

This expanded into the formal launch of the $1 billion Household Prosperity and Empowerment Social Protection Project (HOPE-SP) in Abuja. Presented by First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the initiative is part of a broader strategy to transition citizens from temporary palliatives to sustainable economic self-reliance. The program includes the ‘One Humanitarian One Poverty Response System’ (OHOPRS), an emergency cash transfer program, and a ministerial blueprint designed to support families affected by ongoing economic reforms.
