POVERTY ALLEVIATION

Our Poverty alleviation Approach was inspired by  BRAC University programme  in Bangladesh for ultra poor which leads with consumption support, either direct food aid or cash. Recent behavioral research confirms that unless immediate consumption needs are addressed, people make suboptimal economic decisions due to stress and a “tunneling” syndrome where their time horizons shorten to just managing the next crisis. As Eldhar Shafir (2012) put it: “Scarcity leads you to borrow in ways that are not insightful. The same person would do much better if they had just been a little less poor.” Once the consumption needs have been sufficiently addressed, the Graduation Approach provides support for saving money (a vital tool for risk management), an asset transfer (usually in-kind assets such as livestock), skills training, and regular coaching and encouragement. The goal is for participants to “graduate” to a sustainable livelihood within a defined period of time (generally 18 to 36 months). While the overarching goal of graduation—exit from extreme poverty into a sustainable livelihood—is common across all pilots, the measurement criteria differ. Each pilot sets its own localized metrics for graduation, since the features of poverty vary from one context to another.

GRADUATION APPROACHA is one of the most successful which has been  Challenging the Frontiers of Poverty Reduction/Targeting the Ultra Poor program pioneered by BRAC in Bangladesh.
