VICTORIA, Seychelles — The Agency for Social Protection (ASP) has a new chief executive, following an official appointment announced this week. The new head takes over the agency at a time when demand for social protection services continues to grow, with rising cases of vulnerability linked to unemployment, illness, and changing family circumstances.
The Agency for Social Protection is the government body responsible for the administration of social welfare programmes in Seychelles, including financial assistance, pensions, and support services for vulnerable groups. The new chief executive is expected to lead the continued modernisation of the agency, strengthen service delivery, and ensure that benefits reach those who need them in a timely and efficient manner.
Officials from the ministry responsible for social affairs congratulated the new chief executive and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to supporting the agency’s work. The appointment is part of a wider effort to strengthen the social safety net and ensure that vulnerable Seychellois are well supported. The new chief executive is expected to take up the role in the coming days and begin engaging with staff, partners, and beneficiaries to build on the agency’s ongoing programmes.
