Earlier, the Ehsaas program had benefitted around half of Pakistan’s population amid the coronavirus crisis last year.

An annual report was compiled by Poverty Alleviation and Social Protection Division according to which the Ehsaas program continues to empower the weakest segments of society through its multi-faceted initiatives.

The report also mentioned that many transformative initiatives and policy reforms had effectively been implemented nationwide since the launch of Ehsaas as an umbrella program in 2019 by Prime Minister Imran Khan.
