'BISP to transition towards dynamic registry and biometric payments,' says Marvi Memon, its Chairperson
Marvi Memon evokes partisan responses on social media. But sitting in her office discussing the intricacies of Pakistan's flagship social-safety net (SSN) programme, BR Research found the former banker-turned-politico adequately apolitical. Arguably, the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP), which Memon has been heading since February 2015, has evolved as a symbol of relative political maturity in the country.
