Vulnerability Analysis
The Department of Social Welfare, under the auspices of the District Assembly, has formed a child panel committee with legal backing which seeks to protect women and juveniles who are abused. The committee which sits once a week has a composition of a cream of members drawn from both the staff of the District Assembly and other important personalities from the district.
Cases like child abuse, neglect, and others are heard and solutions found to them by the committee. Again, to protect the rights of inhabitants, the Department of Social Welfare in conjunction with some donor agencies have formed Legal Aid Groups with members scattered all over the district. The groups seek to promote individual rights by encouraging individuals to report infringement on their rights to the appropriate quarters. On some occasions, these groups take up cases of the under privileged to the appropriate quarters.

Social Protection has become necessary in our society because of the increasing inequality that exist in economic and social status of our people. In an attempt to bridge the gap between the privileged and the less privileged in our society the government and other International Organisations have come up with social interventions programmes to address these challenges. Some of the interventions being implemented in Afigya Kwabre South District include Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP), the School Feeding Programme, National Health Insurance Scheme among others.
A total of nine hundred and thirty (930) people under the LEAP beneficiary households were registered for National Health Insurance Scheme. This is made up of four hundred and forty-four females and four hundred and forty-two (442) males. Out of this number, one hundred and ninety-three were new registrants while seven hundred and thirty-seven people had their membership renewed.
