The Social Safety Net Programs (SSNPs) play a key role in Bangladesh to protect the poor households from poverty and vulnerability. Either income poverty or human poverty is responsible for the prevalence of poverty in Bangladesh. The Government of Bangladesh allocates significant amount of money in the budget to implement various social safety net measures with the purpose of poverty reduction. The major social safety net programs in Bangladesh can be divided under two broad categories: (i) social protection measures; (ii) social empowerment measures.
