  • From CGAP-Ford Foundation

graduating out of extreme poverty
Microcredit is not appropriate Savings are
important, but not enough Safety nets are
generally focused on program duration

what is graduation ?

Sequencing is crucial
Building blocks sequencing is crucial
  • Helps create breathing space
  • Regularity fosters trust
  • Cash allows financial education and savings

Consumption support
  • Need to fit into the value chain
  • Mix short and long term assets. Diversify to
    mitigate risks
  • Support services are key (vets, irrigation etc)

Asset transfer
  • Need literacy training to encourage usage
  • Helps build assets
  • Favours financial discipline

Savings

    training
  • Setting graduation goals early is important

  • Train replicators
  • Equip them with Pictorial Manual
  • Replicators form savings groups

  • Reaches poorest
  • Increased food security

Data on Sustainability
  • 78 of groups operate independently
  • 99 of members continue with the group
  • lt1 of groups disband
  • 90 of women in villages covered by SfC

47
Randomized Control Trial
  • 500 villages 210 treatment, 290 control
