STUDY VISIT OF 21-MEMBER UGANDAN HIGH-LEVEL DELEGATION TO BISP HEADQUARTERS

The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is the largest social protection initiative in Pakistan, launched in 2008 as a flagship program. The BISP was envisioned by Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, and it serves not only as a social protection program but also as a pathway to women’s empowerment. Through BISP, women and their children are being registered under the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER), which is a key strength of the program. The Government of Sindh has waived the birth registration fee, and we hope other provinces will follow the suit. These were the opening remarks of Senator Rubina Khalid Chairperson BISP while addressing a high-level delegation from Uganda that visited the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) headquarters today.
