Operating under the Government of Pakistan’s Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) – the country’s largest social protection programme – the Benazir Nashonuma Conditional Cash Transfer Programme has become the national cornerstone in the fight against malnutrition in Pakistan. Nashonuma was scaled up nationwide in 2023 and has reached more than 3.7 million women and children by now. Its midline evaluation shows some of the strongest results ever documented globally for such a large-scale nutrition programme, with a very high impact on stunting reduction, child survival and reduced zero-dose immunisations.
