Options for Making Pakistan’s Flagship National Cash Transfer Programme Shock-responsive

The objective of this study is to explore the viability and potential mechanisms for making BISP, Pakistan’s flagship national social protection programme, shock-responsive. Our study focuses on the BISP Unconditional Cash Transfer (UCT) only. We do not examine other programmes run under BISP such as the Conditional Cash Transfer for Education Waseela-e-Taleem, nor do we look at other Ehsaas programmes.
