GRADUATION FACTSHEETS

[DECEMBER 2015]

CGAP col lected essentia l information on 32 of the 40 ongoing and new graduat ion

projects world-wide as an important input into the December 2015 Graduation

Leadership Summit and Global Learning Event .

Whi le the data was

self -reported, it

provides a good

understanding of the

graduat ion landscape

and an appreciat ion of

the speed with which

i t has expanded. 1

Over half of the new

Graduat ion projects

are being implemented

by governments,

ref lect ing the growing

interest for this

carefully -sequenced mult i -sector approach as an integral part of their nat ional socia l

protection strategies.

Al l 32 factsheets presented here are not equal ly detai led and precise. Despite these caveats, the factsheets a l low for some analys is of emerging trends across this subsample of new Graduat ion projects. Graduat ion Programs by the Numbers Overv iew:

Over 75% of projects have integrated the Graduation Approach into their organizat ion’s mainstream strategies

New programs reach on average over 12,000 households (with out l iers at 100 households or an upcoming program to reach 3 mi l l ion households in Ethiopia)

Targeting:

73% of programs are purely rural (v ersus 7 being mixed rural/urban and 2 only purely urban)

73% of program target only people below 1.25USD (other reach more broadly below 2,50USD)

Implementat ion:

1 The factsheet format was developed by CGAP with inputs from CGAP partners (Nathanael Goldberg from Innovations for Poverty ACTION, Janet Heisey from Trickle Up, and Tatiana Rincon from Fundacion Capital).

A vast major ity of programs offer the ful l graduation package: o 87% of programs offer consumption support, of which 72% are in cash; o 97% offer asset transfers of which 72 % are in cash; o 93% offer coaching; o 91% do technical sk i l ls tra ining

85% of programs provide access to sav ings serv ices. Interest ingly a l l but one of these programs also does f inancial capabi l i ty tra ining .

At least 10 programs are test ing the use of digit ized payments for asset transfer or consumption support

84%of programs conduct research: most ly impact assessment; but some are a lso explor ing specif ic programmatic questions such as address ing the needs of the youth, use of technology etc .)

In addit ion, o 48% of programs offer some healthcare component, o 18% foster access to jobs (UNHCR, South Afr ica…), o 6% l inks to wage employment, o 18% provide legal support (UNHCR) .

Other components offered are typical ly psychological support (UNHCR, IPA Ghana) or community based social support groups (most ly in South Asia) .

Moving ahead, CGAP wi l l seek to make this information avai lable with an interact ive map and a searchable database. We wi l l a lso send requests for sel f -reported updates bi -annual ly , hopeful ly with an opt ion to report on-l ine.

4. Main Contact Person Name: Yuvé Guluma

Organization: UNHCR


Phone: +226 65 50 47 56


This project aims to stimulate profitable and sustainable income-generating activities in the milk and artisan sectors for Malian refugee (and host communities for the milk project) in Burkina Faso. At the end of the projects, participants should be able to meet their essential needs using their own capabilities, resources and funding. The projects already have a number of aspects related to the Graduation Approach – including a sequenced approach to self-reliance consisting of market analysis, consumption support, capacity building, asset building, cash/capital grants, access to credit, etc. The integration of the Graduation Approach into both projects began a few months ago but it is expected that the approach will create more concrete benchmarks to monitor and through coaching will allow UNHCR to tailor project activities to the needs of individual participants and build in a savings component.

All project beneficiaries in the Sahelian camps of Mentao and Goudebou. Goal

here is to move people with varying socio-economic profiles from one level to

the next until they are self-reliant.


Yes No What questions does it seek to address?

Yes and linked both to the Graduation Approach and the projects into which it is

integrated:

- Qualitative study on saving practices and financial services. The study covered

demand and offer related to financial services and how existing traditional

saving groups in particular function and how positive practices can be

strengthened.

- Mixed methods – Milk and artisan value chain analyses. Analyzed the

functioning of value chains from raw materials to consumption and where this

needs to be strengthened to improve its functioning and for a better

integration of refugees.

- Mixed methods - study on disposable income using the Individual Household

Method (milk project baseline and updates). Will evaluate changes in assets

and disposable income as a result of the project and the potential to invest.

- Transtec assessment (artisan baselines and updates) – mainly around business

development, market access and assets as a proxy indicator of wealth.

- Nutrition Knowledge Attitudes Practices and Behavior study. Causal analysis of

malnutrition linked to lack of knowledge and poor infant and young child

feeding and hygiene practices as well as health seeking behavior.

This projects aims to support the most vulnerable people to permanently overcome poverty. The project’s objective is that people who “graduate” become self-reliant as a result of having gained a decent job, having built support networks and having strengthened their self-esteem. Costa Rica offers the conditions required to promote the full local integration of refugees, however access to employment opportunities remains the biggest challenge for the population’s well-being and protection. Many refugees have valuable previous work experiences and a significant level of education, however, it is often not easy for them to find permanent livelihood opportunities in the country. Among the variety of reasons for this includes the lack of access to information about their rights and documentation, as well as discrimination and difficulties accessing educational opportunities or verification/certification of existing educational qualifications.

UNHCR launched the Graduation Model in Ecuador in the town of Santo Domingo in 2015.

Santo Domingo is a town of 100,000 people with, a thriving market economy located

about 3 hours away from Quito. However, the refugee population faces challenges with

insertion into these markets. UNHCR Ecuador chose the Graduation Approach in an

attempt to link refugee families to a self-sustaining safety net and to infuse upward

momentum to lift poor and ultra-poor refugee and Ecuadorian families from their current

level of poverty to improved conditions by equipping each household with the skills and

means for income generation as well as linking them to existing services.

More than 187,000 refugees and asylum seekers are currently registered with UNHCR Egypt, including refugees from different African countries in a protracted situation and Syrians who entered the country in recent years. UNHCR’s cash assistance and the World Food Programme’s food assistance can only reach a small part of the population, making income generation essential to enable refugees to cover their basic needs. The Graduation program’s main objective is the economic empowerment of refugees and the affected Egypt host community. With the enhancement of soft skills, technical skills, business skills and business coaching, the program aims to facilitate sustainable engagement in wage employment or self-employment.

UNHCR is utilizing the Graduation Approach in three locations: Cairo, Alexandria and Damietta. The further scaling of the Graduation Approach is subject to funding. UNHCR funding prospects for 2016 indicate that the program scale could be maintained or possibly lowered. However, the number of refugees in need of livelihood support and eligible for the graduation approach is much higher than the number of beneficiaries in the current program. Scale-up plans also include supporting existing small businesses (not necessarily the most vulnerable) which may result in increased wage-employment opportunities for refugees.

This project features a combination of the Graduation Approach to livelihood development with Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR), which is the most prominent approach utilized by disability-focused institutions to the integration of people with disabilities, reaching more than half a million people worldwide. The project provides health, education, and social services to 100 children with disabilities while simultaneously increasing the economic capacity of their families through increased savings and income. The project takes place in rural, indigenous communities, where extreme poverty and malnutrition rates are very high and people with disabilities confront significant barriers to full and productive participation in community life. Through a partnership with the municipal government and a local non-governmental organization, Trickle Up aims to build the awareness and capacity of the national disability office to replicate and scale this approach.

Village Enterprise has been working for over 27 years to end extreme poverty in rural Africa. We believe in the power of entrepreneurship to transform lives. We equip people living in extreme poverty with resources to start sustainable businesses and establish savings groups. Our Graduation program generates increases in income, savings, and standards of living, thus breaking the cycle of poverty. Using mobile technology and expanding through partnerships, Village Enterprise implements a Graduation model that is cost-effective, scalable, and locally adaptable. Working with partners, Village Enterprise has adapted its graduation model for conservation areas, post conflict regions, and for youth.

Yes No What questions does it seek to address? In October 2013, Village Enterprise launched a three-year, independent Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) of its ultra-poor microenterprise development program. This large study is being conducted with data from over 6,600 households in Uganda by Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) (and previously by BRAC) with the assistance of academics from University of Chicago, Yale, Princeton and Oxford Universities. The purpose of the evaluation is to prove the impact of the program on extremely poor households as well as to guide future program refinements and expansion of the Village Enterprise model. This study aims to contribute to the current dialogue about how best to design programs for ultra-poor households – a rich discussion following the positive results of the CGAP-Ford Foundation Graduation pilots in six countries (Banerjee et al, 2015). It is anticipated that the Village Enterprise RCT will bring new knowledge about how to best structure social protection programming to reach the extreme poor. Furthermore, this study will capture the marginal effects of some of the unique features of the Village

Enterprise program (e.g. training/mentorship and savings) to increase knowledge of the relative impact of each component (cash, training/mentorship, and savings) of our Graduation program.

14. Scale up plans: What are the main objectives? (100 words) In the next 5 years, Village Enterprise will start 22,000 new income-generating businesses through its existing structure in Kenya and Uganda and 13,000+ additional businesses through 2-3 flagship partnerships in additional African countries. Village Enterprise will train 105,000 rural ultra poor Africans and lift 700,000 people out of extreme poverty in 5 years and establish partnerships that will end extreme poverty for millions in 10 years.

Organization: Concern Worldwide


Phone: +250 788 452 552


Concern Worldwide Rwanda (CWR) has been implementing the Graduation Program, which aims to enhance the productive capacity of poor and vulnerable households in the Southern Province of Rwanda. Aligned with the Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy, the program contributes to poverty reduction among the poor and vulnerable groups by facilitating off-farm employment, integrating the target group with the labor market and providing support through cash transfer to enable beneficiaries meet their basic needs build sustainable assets in the Districts of Huye, Nyaruguru, Nyamagabe and Gisagara. The program contributes to efforts being made by Rwanda’s Vision 2020 Umurenge Programme (VUP 2020) while building on the principles of VUP as well as lessons learnt from within and the BRAC/CGAP approach.

6. Start Date (Year) July 2011

7. Estimated End Date (Year)

December 2016



Yes No


Yes No



Currently the program is reaching 2,600 households (HH), but will reach 3,200 by Dec 2015 (as the validation process is on-going for another 600 HH).




Only People Below US$1.25 (PPP)/Day If “yes”, what targeting tool used?We set the selection criteria that ensure those selected belong to the bottom two of the community-based wealth mapping system, namely those who do not have assets (land and livestock), secondary education or other sources of NGO support. Both community targeting in groups of men, women and leader and then plenary and home validation to find out if all selected households do meet the selection criteria are used. For transparency and in order to get feedback from the community, the preliminary list is hang on the walls of the administration office and the community is requested to review and pin-point those who may have been included by error. Those picked out are further validated by Concern and or partner staff to ensure they are not victimized.



Yes No What questions does it seek to address? Yes, Concern Rwanda carries out a research (and commenced with a baseline in 2011 for both the target HH and a control group of HH in similar setting but who do not receive an support), in partnership with the Institute of Development Studies. Key broad questions include Identifying:

Different pathways to graduation for different participating households;

Human and social indicators of graduation as well as income- or asset-based indicators;

Indicators of resilience and sustainability over time that go beyond reaching benchmarks or

crossing thresholds at one point in time;

Enablers and constraints to graduation beyond the household or program level, including markets, infrastructure, policies, complementary programs and services.

Examination of the design and implementation of the program/Limitations of the current approach/Lessons for future programming

Placing current research findings in the context of the emerging literature around graduation internationally and in the discussions around social protection in Rwanda

14. Scale up plans: What are the main objectives? (100 words) The program was initially implemented in four districts (2014), and has since been scaled up to an additional district of Gisagara. The program currently reaches over 11,000 direct beneficiaries in 2,600 households over the four districts, but will increase to 3,200HH with 13,536 beneficiaries by end of this year (2015). During the strategic planning (2017-2020), the country team prioritized scaling up an integrated graduation program that will include health & nutrition, education and livelihood interventions which will ensure holistic wellbeing of the target HH in Rwanda. In addition, the government of Rwanda has reviewed the Concern implementation approach with an objective of learning and incorporating best practices from our current program, and hope to invest in improved mechanisms for better targeting, monitoring and evaluation of the VUP program, as outlined in the National Social Protection Strategy.

Researchers will use a randomized evaluation to assess which components of a “targeting the ultra-poor” program are required to have impact greater than the value of an equivalent cash transfer. A total of 625 households will be randomly assigned to four groups. By comparing pre and post-project surveys, researchers seek to identify what assets best serve the needs of the population, the impact of asset transfers to the ultra-poor compared to traditional consumption transfers and baseline, and the impact return to capital of asset transfers based on the value of assets distributed. Results of this study will provide insight as to the necessary costs of a successful asset-transfer program in improving the incomes and livelihoods of the ultra-poor. The RCT was conducted by researchers through UC Berkeley as part of a partnership with the Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) and BRAC.

The program commences with a thorough targeting process, with triangulation through participatory wealth ranking and validation exercises to verify the results of the wealth ranking. Community buy-in is also enhanced through this open and transparent participatory process. TASAF’s existing targeting process will be leveraged to align with TASAF objectives and streamline the targeting and selection process.



Yes No

What questions does it seek to address?Research will attempt to disaggregate impact of different elements of Graduation by comparing groups with a different bundle of components.

Group 1: Receiving full Graduation approach (including asset transfer, consumption stipend, initial enterprise related training, Savings support, social integration, and weekly home visits)

Group 2: Receiving full Graduation approach minus weekly home visits. Pending funding resources, we would like to test the relative value of the weekly home visit to securing success in Graduation and sustained outcomes.

Control Group


This program aims to test key questions for the Graduation 2.0 agenda to contribute to the greater discussion of efficacy of specific Graduation components such as the home visits. Scale up would be conducted through partner TASAF to reach the broadest population of the ultra poor as identified through the robust TASAF targeting processes. Target no. of households?
