A Non-Governmental Organization, SONGTABA is asking government to register all the women living in witch-camps as beneficiaries of the Livelihood Against Poverty Programme (LEAP).<\/p>\n
The erstwhile John Agyekum Kufuor led New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration established the LEAP as part of its pro-poor programmes.<\/p>\n
It was intended to provide stimulus packages to the aged in some selected deprived communities across the country.<\/p>\n
The Mahama-Amissah Arthur led National Democratic Congress (NDC) government recently expanded the programme with the launch of the LEAP 1000 project in Tamale.<\/p>\n
The expanded programme sought to cover thousands of pregnant women, children under five years and the aged in some selected districts in the three regions of the north.<\/p>\n
