Despite Bangladesh’s success in reducing poverty, still many people live below and around the poverty line. The Government of Bangladesh currently implements several cash transfer programs to benefit the poorest and most vulnerable populations. ... See More + To cover the most socially excluded populations, the poor elderly, widowed, and persons-with-disabilities, four major cash transfer programs are in place: the Old Age Allowance, Allowances for the Widow, Deserted and Destitute Women, Allowances for the Financially Insolvent Disabled, and Stipend for Disabled Students, which collectively reach six million poorest people with a total budget of BDT 40.80 billion in FY 2019. The World Bank’s Cash Transfer Modernization Project aims to improve the transparency and efficiency of these four cash transfer programs by modernizing service delivery. The project provides technical assistance to the Department of Social Services (DSS), under the Ministry of Social Welfare (MoSW), which implements these programs, as well as financial support for the Old Age Allowance. Modernization of service delivery will directly benefit vulnerable populations, which would include current beneficiaries of cash transfer programs, as well as non-beneficiaries who may qualify for these programs.  See Less -
