DG Reviews Service Delivery at BISP Centres
The Director General examined the centers’ beneficiary support systems and operational procedures in detail during the visit. He evaluated the overall quality of services provided, spoke with female recipients face-to-face, and paid close attention to their worries.
While monitoring on-the-ground procedures to preserve transparency and enhance the recipients’ overall experience, the inspection concentrated on making sure that aid was being provided smoothly, effectively, and with dignity.
Vital Role To Empowered Women In Future Payments
Haider Murtaza also discussed the Digital Financial Literacy Training offered at the centers, stating that the program’s goal is to give recipients the information they need to use SIM cards and wallet accounts appropriately.
In order to improve transparency and encourage financial inclusion, he clarified that wallet accounts are being formed on these SIMs and that going forward, all BISP payments will be made only through these digital wallets.
He went on to say that the program will be essential to women’s economic independence and empowerment.
BISP Allotting Free SIM Cards To Women
