World Food Programme & Benazir Income Support Programme signed bilateral agreements with UNICEF & WHO. The agreement focuses on integrating community-based management of acute malnutrition services & enhancing social behavior change.
Previously in December 2021, WFP signed a three-year agreement with Pakistan’s largest social safety net, Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) to expand the stunting prevention program ‘Ehsaas Nashonuma’.
To date, the program has been implemented in 15 districts across Pakistan with plans to expand to 131 districts within the next three years.
