Social protection is a small sector dominated by larger programs namely

• GFD-General Food Distribution
• CSP-The Civil Service Pension
• NSSF-National Social Security Fund
• NHIF-National Hospital Insurance Fund

There is a wide range of social assistance programs and in particular;

• Cash Transfer for Orphans and Vulnerable Children CT-OVC
• Older Pensions Cash Transfer (OPCT)
• Income Security in old age and the Universal Inua Jamii Senior Citizens programs.

These activities cut across both the National and County Government hence a devolved function.
