BRAC’s Post

BRAC was awarded a $5 million grant from Development Innovation Ventures (DIV) at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to alleviate poverty in #Indonesia and the #Philippines through 2027. This catalytic investment will contribute to BRAC’s collaboration with the Governments of Indonesia and the Philippines to integrate the evidence-backed #Graduation approach into existing #poverty alleviation policies and programmes to achieve greater, more lasting impact. BRAC has been supporting the design, delivery, adaptation, and expansion of the Graduation approach alongside partners since it pioneered the approach in Bangladesh in 2002 when it learned its existing poverty programmes were not adequately reaching those furthest behind. With the DIV grant, BRAC will work alongside the Governments of Indonesia and the Philippines to build complementary Graduation interventions into existing government systems, leveraging already allocated resources to drive down overall costs while delivering highly effective poverty alleviation programmes. Over the next decade, BRAC plans to expand these efforts to reach millions more households and contribute to the national poverty alleviation goals of both countries. https://lnkd.in/e47-Tsek #development #USAID
