#EhsaasProgram •

The Ehsaas Program is a major social safety net and poverty alleviation initiative launched by the Government of Pakistan. It was created with the goal of establishing a welfare state and providing support to the most vulnerable segments of society, including low-income families, widows, orphans, disabled people, and the jobless.

The program’s strategy is based on four pillars:
1. **Addressing elite capture and strengthening governance** to ensure the system works for equality.
2. **Implementing safety nets** for disadvantaged groups.
3. **Enhancing human capital** through initiatives in education and health.
4. **Creating jobs and livelihood opportunities.**

The Ehsaas Program includes a variety of specific sub-programs and policies, such as:
* **Ehsaas Kafalat:** Provides direct cash transfers to low-income women.
* **Ehsaas Emergency Cash:** A targeted cash assistance program, notably used to help people affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
* **Ehsaas Taleemi Wazaif:** Offers educational stipends to children from low-income families to reduce school dropout rates.
* **Ehsaas Interest-Free Loans:** Provides interest-free loans to help people start small businesses and achieve financial independence.
* **Ehsaas Nashonuma:** A conditional cash transfer and nutrition program for mothers and young children to address stunting.

The program is known for its use of technology and data, such as the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) and a biometric payment system, to ensure transparency and proper targeting of beneficiaries. It has received international recognition from organizations like the World Bank for its effectiveness in providing social protection.
