Bacha Khan Poverty Alleviation Programme
Bacha Khan Poverty Alleviation Programme (BKPAP), named after Khudai-e-Khidmatgar movement leader, Bacha Khan, [1] was a public-private venture sponsored by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Government,[2] and executed by the Sarhad Rural Support Programme (SRSP), in the selected districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.[3][4]
Major components of the poverty alleviation programme included executing community-based uplift projects, social mobilisation, skill development and cash grants to a selected segment of the target areas. Implementation of a health insurance scheme in the target districts was also part of the programme.[5][6]
