The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) set to revolutionize its cash transfer system by providing smartphones to female beneficiaries. This initiative aims to enhance transparency and respect in the payment process, according to BISP Chairperson Rubina Khalid.
In a recent meeting with a JazzCash delegation, BISP officials explored collaboration opportunities to implement this digital empowerment strategy. The JazzCash team presented potential initiatives, with BISP urging them to develop a detailed plan to ensure the initiative’s success.
Rubina Khalid emphasized that this move aligns with directives from the president and prime minister, who have prioritized transparency in the payment system. She highlighted that equipping women with smartphones will bridge communication gaps, empower them to understand their rights and reduce fraud risks.
BISP’s commitment to improving the lives of its beneficiaries extends beyond cash transfers, with a focus on offering market-driven skill training, further enhancing their economic independence. The smartphone initiative marks a significant step toward the digital empowerment of BISP’s beneficiaries, promising a more transparent and efficient support system.
