Government, through the Ministry of Community Development and Social Services, has empowered 1,045 Social Cash Transfer (SCT) beneficiaries in Lukulu District with mobile phones to enhance access to digital payments and improve the delivery of social protection services.

Lukulu District Commissioner Kelly Kapaku officially launched the distribution exercise and said the initiative demonstrates government's commitment to promoting financial inclusion and ensuring that vulnerable households are not left behind in the country's digital transformation agenda.

Mr. Kapaku noted that the provision of mobile phones will enable beneficiaries to access their Social Cash Transfer payments more conveniently through mobile money platforms while reducing challenges associated with physical cash payments.
