BACKGROUNDGRADUATION APPROACH
Since 2005, PPAF and IFAD have had a strong productive relationship with three successful projects, Restoration of Earthquake-A�ected Communities and Households (REACH), Micro�nance Innovation and Outreach Programme (MIOP) and Programme for Increasing Sustainable Micro�nance (PRISM).
PPAF’s graduation pilot, Targeting Ultra-Poor, was funded under MIOP where the asset transfer accompanied by enterprise training enabled families to increase incomes, which led to improved household food security, enrolment of children in schools, and creation of more assets. The success of the graduation pilot resulted in the expansion of PPAF’s graduation approach and eventually the design of the National Poverty Graduation Programme.
The poverty graduation approach combines elements of three distinct approaches - social mobilisation, livelihoods development, and �nancial inclusion. The process involves the capacity-building of community organisations through strong social mobilisation support supports individual households to access multiple opportunities (from markets, private sector and government).
PROGRAMME OBJECTIVE
Enabling the rural poor and especially women and youth to realize their development potential and attain a higher level of social and economic wellbeing through a proven �exible and responsive menu of assistance
