Benefits of Digital Empowerment
According to Ms. Khalid, both the president and prime minister have instructed Benazir Income Support Programme to take measures that ensure transparency in payment transfers and to better assist beneficiaries.
The introduction of smartphones is seen as a crucial step in closing the communication gap between Benazir Income Support Programme and its beneficiaries. This move aims to make beneficiaries more aware of their entitlements and reduce the risk of fraud.
Ms. Khalid also emphasized that this digital empowerment initiative is not just about providing digital phones but also about offering market-driven skill training to further improve the lives of beneficiaries.
