Ghana Productive Safety Net Project 2 - Additional Financing - (P180659)
In Ghana, the Productive Safety Net Project 2 (P180659) will support the continued use of the Washington Group Questions to capture various disability-disaggregated data for improved targeting. As part of this project’s effort to acquire credible data on progress, third-party monitoring will be conducted periodically by Civil Society Organizations, including organizations for persons with disabilities. In addition to strengthening the availability and analysis of disability-disaggregated data, the project will promote disability inclusion in public works through desensitization trainings on disability inclusion. The project will also include an indicator in the Results Framework to track inclusion of persons with disabilities.
