The Government of Pakistan (GOP) launched the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) in July 2008 to serve as the premier national safety net institution with the primary objective of consumption smoothing and alleviating adverse effects of slow economic growth. The country at that time in point was experiencing rapid food price inflation, with prices of necessities reaching a 30-year high, and economic fallout from the global financial crisis. The Program targets cash transfers to vulnerable and deserving women and their families from the poorest households across the country irrespective of political affiliations, racial identity, geographic location, and religious beliefs. The long-term objectives include meeting the targets of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on eradicating extreme and chronic poverty and empowering women. The goals of the program are to enhance the financial capacity of poor people and their dependent family members, to formulate and implement comprehensive policies and targeted programs for the uplift of underprivileged and vulnerable people; and to reduce poverty and promote equitable distribution of wealth, especially for the low-income groups. According to NNS 2018, Pakistan has had persistently high rates of stunting with 40.2 percent. In response to the high burden of stunting in Pakistan and its long-term consequences, the Government of Pakistan (GoP) as per the initiative of the former Prime Minister has officially launched a first-of-its-kind Program on August 13, 2020, that aims to improve nutrition and prevent stunted growth of underprivileged children in the country using conditional cash transfer strategy of World Bank. Ehsaas Nashonuma Program is fully funded by the government of Pakistan and World Food Program has been hired as an implementing partner to carry out all the activities of the program throughout the country.
