Vision:
The establishment of CSPS has been initiated primarily to develop and improve social welfare services in Ghana. It is intended to fill a need for social welfare policy research in Ghana. The challenge is to provide a forum that can play a coordinating role for the establishment of social development networks and at the same time involve the general public in the process of social welfare policy development.

Objectives:

The centre, which is partly sponsored by UNICEF, aims to create greater awareness on social welfare policy issues in Ghana and to promote participatory development of policies and social service programmes of action. In this respect, the centre has been focusing on interdisciplinary projects that emerge from its own programmes as well as those of cognate departments, agencies, organisations and institutes.
