Goal 1 aims to “end poverty in all its forms everywhere.”<\/strong><\/p>

For Ghana, this means eradicating extreme poverty, reducing multidimensional poverty (including access to health, education, and living standards), and strengthening resilience to economic, social, and environmental shocks. Key priorities include expanding social protection programs, promoting inclusive economic opportunities, and targeting support to the most vulnerable groups, particularly in rural and northern regions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
