Background of the study
Social welfare programs are implemented to support vulnerable populations by providing financial aid, healthcare, housing, and other social services. In Aba South Local Government Area, Abia State, these programs aim to alleviate poverty, reduce inequality, and improve quality of life among marginalized groups (Chukwuemeka, 2023). The programs include initiatives such as cash transfers, subsidized healthcare, and affordable housing projects. Their implementation is critical in addressing social challenges and promoting inclusive development. Despite these efforts, issues such as bureaucratic inefficiencies, inadequate coverage, and limited resources hinder their effectiveness. This study investigates how social welfare programs affect the well-being of vulnerable populations, assessing both the benefits and challenges associated with program implementation. The research will provide insights into how these initiatives can be improved to better serve their target groups and foster social cohesion. The study also highlights the importance of monitoring and evaluation in ensuring program accountability and sustainability (Ikechukwu, 2024; Nwosu, 2025).
