JACOBABAD: BISP Chairwoman Marvi Memon on Saturday launched a survey for NSER update in Jacobabad.
This is the third pilot district in Sindh where the survey has been started after Sukkur and Thatta.
Speaking on the occasion, she said the government is committed to the welfare of the poor. During the last three years, BISP has grown as one of the best social safety nets of the world. BISP is all set to register the first ever dynamic NSER of the country as the previous NSER was a static registry unable to cater to the changing socio economic conditions of the population. Systematic approach has been introduced for mapping and route planning of the survey teams to ensure 100% coverage of the households.
Sindh PML-N Information Secretary Aslam Abro said the BISP has expanded and improved its transparency under Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Marvi Memon. The PML-N would ensure that the poor get their due share and no one is left behind. He added that this survey is free.
Riaz Hussain, director AASA Consulting, that is going to conduct door to door survey in cluster C districts (Jacobabad, Thatta, Kech and Kila Saifullah) said that around 188 staff has been employed to cover the estimated caseload of 224,700 households in Jacobabad. Social mobilisation and field activities are in full swing. Door-to-door survey would commence on February 15.
BISP DG Naeem Anwar praised the chairwoman and highlighted that for the ongoing survey. Poverty Score Card has been revised to enhance the quality of data.
