The Ehsaas Program is a poverty alleviation and social protection initiative launched by the Government of Pakistan in 2019.

The program consists of several components, including:

 

Cash Transfer Program: The cash transfer program provides financial assistance to eligible families through various initiatives, such as the Kafaalat program, which provides a monthly stipend to women from low-income households, and the Emergency Cash Program, which provides one-time cash grants to those affected by natural disasters, economic shocks, or health emergencies.
