Initiated in 2008, LEAP is a cash transfer program for those in severe poverty with the goal of eliminating poverty by boosting and balancing consumption as well as improving access to opportunities and services among the most vulnerable and impoverished individuals.
The main objective of the LEAP Program is to reduce poverty by increasing and smoothening consumption and promoting access to services and opportunities among the extremely poor and vulnerable.
