Abstract
Abstract The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has negatively affected people worldwide, but those in the Global South have been hit the hardest. Since social protection has emerged as one of the most reliable ways to meet the needs of people experiencing poverty and vulnerable people, governments are turning to it. However, there is a scarcity of studies examining the evolving social protection strategies amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in the Global South. As a result, this research focuses on Ghana’s emerging social protection response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found that the emerging social protection strategies were food and COVID-19 personal protective equipment assistance, Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty, subsidies on electricity and water, and temporal shelter. Nevertheless, the interventions were mostly temporary and ad hoc. Overall, social assistance was the dominant social protection response to the COVID-19 pandemic. To have an effective social protection response will require developing social protection structures.
