Abstract
While governments face significant
obstacles in designing and delivering approaches for people
living in extreme poverty, a substantial body of research
shows that programs can achieve transformative impact by
addressing the socioeconomic barriers that often exclude
this population. An increasing number of governments are
adopting and scaling economic inclusion programs, including
Graduation programs, to address the multidimensional
vulnerabilities of people living in extreme poverty. By
integrating the Graduation approach into their poverty
reduction initiatives, governments can increase the impact
and scale of their initiatives by investing in the systems,
processes, and capacities needed to reach those furthest
behind and deliver multidimensional, timebound, and
sequenced program interventions. This In Practice paper
shares insights and learning from four non-governmental
organizations on the potential to scale up government-led
Graduation programs for people living in extreme poverty. It
contributes to the growing policy space around economic
inclusion and identifies good practices for designing and
implementing government-led Graduation programs. It makes
recommendations and identifies key considerations for
governments on how to identify, reach, and deliver impactful
programming to individuals and households facing
socioeconomic exclusion and marginalization.
