40 semi-skilled workers to gain training under BISP

December 11, 2024 (MLN): The Benazir Hunarmand Program has the potential to provide skill training to 40 semi-skilled individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Currently, 9.6 million families are benefiting from the program, with that number set to reach 10mn soon.

The aforementioned information was shared by Senator Rubina Khalid, during her speech at the BISP Headquarters, as per the press release.

She also credited the former President of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari, for declaring women households eligible for financial assistance under BISP.

Senator Rubina Khalid underscored the growing international recognition of BISP’s social protection programs.

She recalled how, in its early years, BISP teams traveled to countries like Mexico to learn from their social protection initiatives.

Today, countries such as Uganda and others from West Africa visit BISP to study its successes and consider implementing similar programs in their own nations.

Senator Rubina Khalid announced that BISP is actively engaging with international organizations, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Lives & Livelihood Fund, and the Islamic Development Bank.

She further emphasized that BISP is collaborating with other skill training institutions to introduce high-quality skill training programs for its beneficiaries.

“This movement requires collective effort,” Senator Rubina Khalid concluded.

She noted, “May Allah Almighty grant us the strength to utilize our resources effectively and contribute to Pakistan’s development.”
