Chapter One: Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

Social security policies are critical in addressing the needs of marginalized communities, promoting equity, and reducing poverty. In Nigeria, these policies aim to provide support through cash transfers, health insurance schemes, and other welfare programs targeted at vulnerable populations (Olawale & Ibrahim, 2024). Kaltungo Local Government, Gombe State, is home to various marginalized groups, including women, children, and individuals with disabilities, who often lack access to essential services and opportunities.

The implementation of social security policies in Kaltungo has been met with mixed results. While some initiatives have improved the living standards of certain groups, challenges such as inadequate funding, poor policy coordination, and limited community involvement persist (Abdullahi & Garba, 2023). This study appraises the effectiveness of social security policies in addressing the needs of marginalized communities in Kaltungo Local Government, identifying areas for improvement and lessons for future interventions.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

Despite the introduction of social security policies, marginalized communities in Kaltungo Local Government continue to face poverty, inequality, and limited access to basic services. Factors such as poor implementation, corruption, and lack of community participation undermine the effectiveness of these policies (Adebayo & Musa, 2024). This study examines the impact of these policies and identifies strategies for improvement.
