Income Generating Grants (IGGs)

The IGGs provide assistance to the poorest community members through a one-time cash grant to start economic/income generating activities.

The Poverty Score Card (PSC) is used to identify the eligible households to ensure that only the poorest households with a Poverty Score of 0-12 at the baseline access the IGG. Additionally, the COs have to approve the eligibility of the household. The maximum grant value under IGGs is PKR 50,000 (€ 294) and average amount of PKR 15,000 (€ 88).
