The Graduation Approach (GA) has proven to be a sustainable solution for building and safeguarding the livelihoods of those entrenched in extreme poverty. Originating from the Bangladeshi NGO BRAC, GA is an intensive, holistic strategy that combines various elements, such as cash support, asset transfers, training, mentoring, savings, and health care linkages. Over time, organizations have adapted GA, moving towards a broader goal of economic inclusion. Efforts to leverage existing government services and market opportunities in GA programs have been successful, connecting, strengthening, and supplementing poverty alleviation initiatives.
