In this study, the researcher evaluated the role of the Benazir Income Support Programme Beneficiaries Committees (BBCs) in the context of social inclusion, gender-equitable community development by utilization of Mixed Methods Research (MMR) strategy from BB’s perspective in the area. Wherein, three hundred eighty-four (384) out of the total of 72869 populations was taken as a sample size for the quantitative portion and Thirty (30) interviewees were selected on the basis purpose sampling for the qualitative portion of the study. Besides that, three focused group discussions were conducted under the concurrent explorative design to validate the results. Wherein, findings of the study reflected that BBCs positively contributed towards the social inclusion of women in terms of their social safety net, social empowerment and gender-equitable community development. Moreover, a significant relationship (R= .000) was noted between the dependent variables (GBCD) and the independent variables (BBCs), with an R-squared value of .000. Similarly, the results revealed a meaningful correlation (R= .000) between BBCs as the independent variable and the social inclusion of women (SIW) as the dependent variable, with an R-value of .000. The study suggests the expansion of BBCs to strengthen all the Social Safety Net Initiatives that will perform an effective role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals 2030. Moreover, this study will be helpful for the researchers and policy-makers of social safety nets in the context of social inclusion of women and gender-equitable community development.
