Launched in <strong data-start="257" data-end="265">2008, it was named after former Prime Minister <strong data-start="308" data-end="326">Benazir Bhutto and focuses on reducing poverty, empowering women, and improving living conditions for low-income households.

<li data-section-id="wixybk" data-start="483" data-end="561">Provide monthly cash assistance to families living below the poverty line.</li>
<li data-section-id="1uki66u" data-start="562" data-end="635">Empower women by making them the primary recipients of financial aid.</li>

<h3 data-section-id="18vwlo" data-start="890" data-end="910">How BISP Works</h3>
<p data-start="912" data-end="1260">Eligible families are identified through a nationwide survey that assesses income, household size, and living conditions. Once approved, beneficiaries receive <strong data-start="1071" data-end="1097">regular cash transfers, which can be collected via banks, mobile wallets, or designated payment centers. This system guarantees direct and efficient support to those who need it most.

<p data-start="1860" data-end="2068">However, challenges remain, including operational inefficiencies, payment delays, and ensuring safety during cash collection. Continuous reforms are being implemented to improve efficiency and transparency.
