The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MoGCSP) has reaffirmed its commitment to protecting vulnerable persons following heavy rains that affected parts of the country.
In a statement Monday, June 29, 2026, the Ministry extended sincere thoughts to all individuals, families and communities affected by the rains.
The Ministry commended emergency response agencies, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies, security services, volunteers, community leaders and Ghanaians who have supported those affected.
“Their collective efforts reflect the resilience, generosity and unity that define our nation,” it said.
MoGCSP said it is working closely with relevant government institutions to ensure social protection remains central to response and recovery efforts. Particular attention is being given to children, older persons, persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups to ensure they receive the care, protection and support required.
“Government remains committed to safeguarding the welfare, dignity and wellbeing of those most at risk,” the Ministry stated.
It added that effective social protection is strengthened when families, neighbours, communities, businesses, faith-based organisations, civil society organisations and development partners work together to ensure no one is left behind.
The Ministry urged households to strengthen preparedness by keeping important documents safe, maintaining up-to-date emergency contacts, checking on the elderly, neighbours living alone and persons with disabilities, and ensuring children understand basic safety measures.
It also encouraged employers to prioritise employee wellbeing during severe weather by considering flexible work arrangements, timely communication and family responsibilities.
MoGCSP said it will continue working with government institutions, humanitarian and development partners, civil society organisations and local communities to keep children, older persons, persons with disabilities, survivors of abuse and exploitation, and other vulnerable populations at the centre of emergency response, recovery and resilience efforts.
