Of the nearly two million Ghanaians aged 60 and above, fewer than 300,000 receive SSNIT pensions—a coverage rate of just 5%.

Social isolation stands at 27.3%, loneliness at 17.7%, and 48.7% of older Ghanaians with functional limitations face transportation barriers to healthcare. This investigative series follows the lives of older Ghanaians from the Ada East District to the Northern Region, documenting their experiences of neglect, isolation, and systemic exclusion. It analyses pension coverage data, healthcare access barriers, and LEAP enrolment statistics, featuring interviews with policymakers, civil society leaders, and older persons themselves.

Of the over 2 million Ghanaians aged 60 and above, fewer than 300,000 receive SSNIT pensions—a coverage rate of just 5%.

It analyses the GH¢3 billion government debt to SSNIT, the exclusion of the 80% informal sector workforce, and comparative pension models from South Africa, Kenya, Rwanda, Mauritius, and Namibia.
