February 25, 2026 – Islamabad, Pakistan – The Benazir Nashonuma Program (BISP Nashonuma) 2026 has received a major boost for families across Pakistan. Senator Rubina Khalid, Chairperson of BISP, announced that the quarterly stipend will increase to Rs. 14,500 for 10 million families this Ramadan.

The World Food Programme (WFP) and BISP have fully digitized the Nashonuma program, introducing a real-time dashboard to track payments and stunting prevention across 542 facilitation centers.

BISP Nashonuma Program Dashboard

The new digital dashboard now monitors 4.3 million enrolled women and children, helping identify health gaps in real time. It tracks progress in the first 1,000 days of life, ensuring that nutritional interventions reach those who need them most.

The dashboard is integrated with NSER 2026 data, allowing full transparency for partners like UNICEF and WHO. Early reports indicate a 20% decrease in stunting among active program participants.

Increased Stipends and Payments

Senator Rubina Khalid confirmed that BISP Nashonuma payments have been raised from Rs. 13,500 to Rs. 14,500 per quarter. The funds are set to reach beneficiaries in the first week of Ramadan 2026.

The new digital wallet system ensures direct payments to families, eliminating middleman deductions. Beneficiaries can check their BISP Nashonuma payments and verify eligibility through the 8171 web portal.
