In Ghana, a number of social protection programs have been initiated. The implementation of these social protection programs has, however, not been without some associated challenges. In this paper, an assessment of the processes involved in the implementation of social protection programs in Ghana have been discussed. Kid, et al (2018) concepts on implementation of social protection programs have been adopted and compared with Ghana’s processes of implementing social protection programs. This was purely a qualitative study that interviewed officials from the respective implementation agencies of the studied programs. The study revealed that, the registration processes of beneficiaries for the selected programs (SFP, NHIS, LEAP, NYEP and Capitation grant) are generally simple, with less complexities. Again, even with variations in the registration processes, they have been decentralized to reach beneficiaries with ease. The implementation of these programs, are however faced with challenges that has to be dealt with to enhance its success. Instances of lack of proper administrative structures; political interferences; and financial limitations are some of the identified challenges","PeriodicalId":181537,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ‏The 3rd International Conference on Research in Social Sciences and Humanities","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117337407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is based on urban theory and the literary review from 2015 to 2021 of peri-urban areas in India, Africa, Europe and Latin America. Thanks to this, the words \"transect\" and \"peri-urban\" were defined. This allowed us to establish characteristics that identify a peri-urban area in Mexico. Here, mobility, land use, demographics, well-being and socioeconomic aspects were considered as dimensions that need to be investigated and whose parameters would have to be addressed both from a theoretical and a practical basis. To define the peri-urban transect, we began with the analysis of five dimensions through eleven indicators. The results show that 62.4% of the locations in the Mexican Republic are peri-urban. This analysis allows us to have a first approach to the peri-urban definition. The first results are shown in this work; however, it is observed that the definition is not absolute because there are different types of peri-urbanity. This work is part of the \"P-70: Validation of the strategy for empowering the use of solar energy\" project of the “Centro Mexicano de Innovación en Energía Solar (CeMIE-Sol)”. It's a social innovation project whose general objective is to develop an empowerment strategy for everyone through the use of solar energy, from human rights and gender approaches; and to characterize and evaluate the sociotechnical potential of the use of technologies of solar energy (active and passive) within the different socioeconomic transects in Mexico. So the first step is to define what peri-urbanity consists of.","PeriodicalId":181537,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ‏The 3rd International Conference on Research in Social Sciences and Humanities","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115348925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
