This document discusses graduation programs in the context of social protection. It notes that while graduation programs aim to provide a clear exit from poverty support, they may lose sight of the fundamental purpose of social protection. Specifically, the time frames of graduation programs are often too short to truly break the cycle of poverty. The document also questions whether graduation targets are realistic given that beneficiaries themselves do not see a clear point of graduation. It concludes that poverty reduction requires long-term investment beyond the typical 3-5 year graduation program timelines and calls for comprehensive social protection strategies that address lifetime risks.

Rethinking Graduation and Social

Protection: A Realistic Aspiration?
Lisa Hannigan , Senior Sector Specialist Social
Protection
Paba Siriwardana, Social Protection Specialist

What is social protection? What is its aim?

Tackle poverty, vulnerability and promote
pro-poor economic growth

But what does it mean in the context of
graduation?
Protection (cash transfer)
Prevention (insurance)
Promotion (economic opportunities)

What are the common graduation
programs?
Asset Transfer Programs
• BRAC CFPR – Targeting the Ultra
Poor
Public Works Programs
• Ethiopia’s Public Safety Net
Program

Why are they popular?

Clear exit strategy
Value for money
Return on investment

Why are they contentious?

• Loses sight of the fundamental purpose of
social protection
• Time frames are too short to break the
cycle of poverty

• Assumes lives and livelihoods are linear
and the assets will make them resilient
against future shocks.
• Assumes programs are replicable across
different contexts

• Can be gender blind

What do beneficiaries think?

“Beneficiaries themselves, of course, have no
concept of the point at which they might have
graduated”
- Nicholas Freeland, Consultant

What are the risks of supporting graduation
programs?
• If political support is fixated on (unrealistic)
graduation targets, a failure to reach them
can not only cut the ‘productive’ element
of the program, but also the ‘protective’
element
• Perverse incentives if thresholds are known

What does the evidence tell us about the
success of graduation programs?
• Positive results – but for how long?
• Indicators for measuring resilience adequate or too low?
• Do we need more insights from
beneficiaries?
• Can the program be undermined by the
state? (India’s NREGA impact on CGAP pilot)

Where to from here?
How to use graduation wisely

• Poverty reduction is a long term
investment, not a 3 – 5 year project
• Need a broad based comprehensive social
protection strategy that addresses lifecycle
risks
• Examples: Aid program investments in
Indonesia and the Philippines

Day 2: Concluding remarks

African Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS)

This document summarizes key points from a discussion on social protection programs: 1) Social protection programs can contribute to agricultural and economic growth by addressing constraints on household decision making and enhancing production. Emphasizing livelihood promotion is key to building support. 2) Universal targeting at a local level may be preferable to complex targeting mechanisms when asset distribution is similar, to minimize exclusion and reduce tensions. 3) Graduation from programs requires additional support like skills training to foster a workforce capable of higher productivity, as cash transfers alone are not sufficient.

Mike Brewin

- DFID's cash transfer programs succeeded in their primary goal of reducing poverty by increasing incomes and consumption for poor households. However, results were more mixed for secondary goals like education, health and empowering women. - DFID exceeded its target of reaching 6 million people with cash transfers between 2011-2015. However, it lacks a strategic approach to strengthening national cash transfer systems and building sustainability. - Cash transfers provide good value for money by effectively reaching the poorest. DFID has strengthened its focus on cost-efficiency but could better use assessments to inform funding decisions.

Grammar - Articles - a, an, or the

Evan Brammer

The document discusses the use of articles 'a', 'an', and 'the' in English. It explains that 'a' is used before consonant sounds and 'an' is used before vowel sounds. It also notes exceptions like 'university' and 'hour'. The document also compares the use of 'a/an' with nouns introduced for the first time versus 'the' which refers back to something already mentioned. It provides examples of special uses of 'a/an' with prices, frequencies, speeds, and jobs. Finally, it discusses uses of 'the' when there is only one of an item or with musical instruments.

Ahmed Elsayed - BEP launch

Ahmed Ali

The document summarizes findings from impact evaluations of social protection programs conducted by J-PAL MENA. It discusses how randomized evaluations are used to understand the impact of social programs and policies. It then reviews evidence on the impact of different social protection programs, including cash transfers versus in-kind transfers, conditional versus unconditional cash transfers, and the effects of program design features like targeting methods and transfer modalities. Key findings discussed include that in-kind transfers can impact prices, labeling programs can be as effective as formal conditionality, and conditional cash transfers may have unintended consequences like increasing child marriage.

Graduation from Poverty versus Graduating from Social Protection – setting t...

UNDP Policy Centre

This document discusses the graduation approach, which provides an integrated set of interventions over time aimed at helping the poorest individuals engage in sustainable income-generating activities and improve their livelihoods. Evaluations show graduation programs have increased incomes and assets but not necessarily lifted all participants out of poverty. Impacts vary between individuals, with better-off participants at baseline experiencing larger gains. Graduation models are complementary to social assistance programs and can play a role in social protection systems by promoting long-term inclusion through services, assets, and training.

Input or Outcome?

2020resilience

This document provides an overview and guidance for designing programs to promote women's financial inclusion. It discusses why financial inclusion is important for growth and poverty reduction, especially for women. The key steps outlined are: 1) Scoping issues through assessments of gender inequality, barriers to access, and baseline data; 2) Designing the project vision, goals, partners, and activities; 3) Implementation considerations around governance, partners, and management; 4) Monitoring and evaluating the project through indicators and impact assessments. The overall aim is to empower women economically by enhancing access to appropriate financial services and products.

GBV Guidelines

This document provides guidance for humanitarian workers on integrating interventions to address gender-based violence (GBV) within child protection programs. It discusses key areas such as assessment, resource mobilization, implementation, referrals, coordination, and monitoring and evaluation. The document emphasizes that child protection actors should work closely with GBV specialists to incorporate GBV risk reduction strategies into their work, including by coordinating assessments, developing training and protocols, and ensuring child survivors can access multi-sectoral support services. The overall aim is to better protect children from GBV while upholding ethical and safety standards.

Annie Duflo_The Debate on Outreach and Impact of Microfinance

Microcredit Summit Campaign

The document discusses findings from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on microcredit. Three main points are: 1) RCTs have found that microcredit achieves its main goals of increasing access to credit and business creation/expansion, but only marginally impacts poverty and does not transform society. 2) Initial longer-term studies up to 3 years find similar outcomes, but it is unclear if microcredit can significantly impact human development over longer periods given limitations. 3) There is a need for more experimentation to better understand heterogeneous client impacts and how to design financial products and training to maximize potential outcomes for the poor.

Context and Current Social Protection in Zimbabwe

Global Development Institute

The document discusses the need for a new approach to social protection in Zimbabwe given multiple stressors facing the population like economic shocks, reduced employment, and climate change. It notes that the situation is complex and changing rapidly. The landscape has changed as more people are in need of support but resources are decreasing while demand is increasing. The enabling environment for social protection is poor due to issues like governance, management of schemes, and human rights. It argues for long-term, sustainable solutions that empower local communities rather than short-term responses.

How are social protection programmes targeting or inclusive of adolescence?

UNICEF Office of Research - Innocenti

1) Social protection programs can play a critical role in facilitating safe transitions to adulthood for adolescents by addressing vulnerabilities during rapid development. 2) However, adolescents are often not directly targeted and their needs are inconsistently reflected in program design, with a focus on younger ages and practical needs over empowerment. 3) Education is a main focus of social transfers for adolescents, which can challenge gender norms by promoting schooling, but impacts vary by context and more can be done to address gendered risks faced by both boys and girls.

Entrepreneurship programs in developing countries often have mixed results. A meta-analysis of 37 impact evaluations of such programs was conducted to identify what types of interventions are most effective. The analysis found that comprehensive programs combining training and financing had larger positive impacts on labor market outcomes and income. Training programs were more effective at improving business skills, while financing programs improved business performance. Younger populations and those in lower-income countries benefited the most. Vocational training and programs delivered by NGOs also tended to have larger effects. Improving final outcomes like earnings takes more time compared to intermediate outcomes like skills and knowledge.

Advocacy inemergencies

Mohammad Noor

The document discusses advocacy in emergency contexts, with the objectives of understanding its role, familiarizing with advocacy approaches used by World Vision, and understanding how advocacy complements emergency programming. It defines advocacy as seeking structural change through non-violent means like persuasion and partnership. Advocacy should be integrated into programs and address humanitarian principles. It provides examples of advocacy techniques and notes advocacy is most effective when based on evidence, having clear goals, and involving stakeholders at all levels from international to local.

Ruth Phillips - Gender equality and food securty

Development Futures

Women play a key role in global food production but their contribution is often underrecognized. While women produce between 60-80% of food in developing countries, they face numerous constraints related to gender inequality. These constraints impact household food security and nutrition. Effective food security policies need to promote women's empowerment and emancipation by addressing structural barriers limiting women's access to resources and decision making power. Approaches are needed that integrate gender equality, empowerment, and capacity building for women beyond a sole focus on agricultural production.

The document discusses strategies for addressing micronutrient deficiencies through agriculture and nutrition. It outlines different approaches for reducing deficiencies, including supplementation, dietary diversity, fortification, and biofortification. Biofortification involves breeding staple crops with higher nutritional content through conventional breeding or genetic engineering. Studies show biofortified crops like beans and rice can significantly improve micronutrient levels. However, biofortified crops may require behavior change efforts if they are visually different. The document debates whether genetic engineering should be more widely used given the large public health consequences of micronutrient deficiencies.

Juliet Willetts - Research paradigms for poverty alleviation

Development Futures

The document discusses the balancing act required in research paradigms for poverty alleviation and sustainable development. Specifically, it addresses balancing different knowledges, ethics, rigor and relevance. It emphasizes the need for transdisciplinary research that incorporates civil society, business, government and considers technical and social solutions. Finally, it argues that future research needs humility, respect for different types of knowledge, courage to think differently, integrity, ethics and flexibility to create change.

Usha Harris - Participatory Media Workshop

Development Futures

Here are some potential responses to consider for the questions: - Contexts where communities lack voice or representation in decision making processes that affect them. Marginalized groups who need a platform to share their perspectives. - Identify an issue in the community and facilitate a participatory process where community members use video/photography to document and share their views. This could help identify priorities and solutions. - Building trust with the community may take time. Ensuring all voices are represented equally. Technical/literacy challenges. Sustaining community ownership after the project ends. The key is to see these tools as means for the community to represent themselves, not just produce outputs. Facilitation skills are important to ensure an

- The project aimed to improve subsistence rice farming systems in tribal communities in India through on-farm research led by farmers. - The project increased crop diversity and household incomes, reduced food insecurity and forced migration, and improved self-esteem and capacity for innovation. - A transdisciplinary approach was used, actively involving farmers and local organizations in research through action learning cycles and on-farm trials, respecting different knowledge systems and promoting systemic thinking beyond individual disciplines.

Thomas Davis - Research Use in Australian Aid Program

Development Futures

This document summarizes an evaluation of research use in the Australian aid program conducted by the Office of Development Effectiveness. It provides data on research spending from 2007/2008 to 2011/2012, which accounted for 3.1% of total aid spending and increased faster than total spending. Most research funding went to food security and health projects in country programs rather than global programs. Interviews revealed divergent views on what constitutes research and its purpose among aid staff, as well as challenges with using research in program design and limited knowledge management systems. The evaluation examined research investments, factors influencing research uptake, and how to optimize research for effective aid delivery.

Tim Budge - Development! Social Movements

Development Futures

This document discusses social movements and their role in development. It analyzes thinkers like Paulo Freire and Saul Alinsky who saw social change coming from grassroots movements empowering people. It notes how NGOs often focus on implementing programs rather than supporting indigenous social movements. It highlights the work of Slum Dwellers International, a global network of community-owned organizations that link rights work and community development. It suggests development organizations could learn from movements by giving up control, supporting movement priorities, and recognizing the need for dissent in creating large-scale change.

Suharto Suharto - Community - Based Rehabiliation exclusion

Development Futures

This document discusses encouraging "difability" thinking in community-based rehabilitation (CBR) programs. It defines difability as acknowledging people's different abilities. CBR is presented as a more accessible and lower-cost alternative to institutional rehabilitation programs. CBR encourages community participation and uses local resources. It aims to broaden rehabilitation access and promote social inclusion of people with disabilities. The document provides an example of how one CBR program in Indonesia advocates for disability rights and works to reduce poverty through self-help groups and advocacy teams.

Tahira Jabeen - Citizen, Rights and Accountability

Development Futures

This document outlines a case study from Pakistan on children's citizenship. It introduces debates around traditional versus feminist views of citizenship and how children are often excluded. The study used interviews with policymakers and analysis of Pakistan's legislative framework to examine views of children as either dependent or as citizens. While Pakistan has signed the UNCRC supporting children's participation rights, the analysis found policymaker views tended to be welfarist and that children are not considered able to participate in decisions affecting them. This limits Pakistan's development progress in achieving education and anti-poverty goals for children.

Susan O'Leary- Giving voice to development beneficiaries

Development Futures

This document discusses downward accountability in development organizations and the role of power in empowering beneficiaries. It summarizes a study of two NGOs in India - Rural Life and Unison - and their approaches to governance, communication, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. While Rural Life took a top-down hierarchical approach, Unison engaged communities collaboratively. As a result, Unison was more effective at empowering communities, reducing dependence and challenging social roles, while Rural Life perpetuated dependency. For downward accountability to achieve empowerment, the study concludes development organizations must critically address underlying power imbalances and reasons for beneficiaries' disempowerment.

Susan Harris Rimmer - Does the G20 offer a pathway to end poverty?

Development Futures

The document discusses the G20, which represents major world economies and is important because its members represent about 90% of global GDP, 80% of global trade, and two-thirds of the world's population. It also produces 84% of fossil fuel emissions. The G20 is significant because global economic power is shifting, with emerging economies like the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) expected to surpass many current Western powers in size and influence. The G20 faces challenges in establishing legitimacy and effectiveness as it takes on greater economic governance responsibilities globally.

Sophia Close - How can development transform conflict in Indigenous communities?

Development Futures

This document summarizes a presentation given by Sophia Close, a PhD candidate at the ANU National Centre for Indigenous Studies, about whether indigenous communities can engage with development systems to transform conflict and pursue self-determined development. Close's research focuses on development-related conflicts in indigenous communities. Her initial field results from Timor-Leste found issues with the timing and sustainability of development projects, impacts on local culture and language, problems with leadership and donor coordination, and the exacerbation of existing conflicts. She emphasizes the importance of relationships, free prior and informed consent of communities, and allowing communities to lead "capacity building" in a way that works for them in order to achieve self-determined development.

Sarah Cook - Rethinking social development for the 21st century

Development Futures

This document summarizes key points from a conference presentation on new directions in social policy, particularly those emerging from the global South. It makes three main points: 1. Poverty reduction is better achieved through comprehensive social policies that aim for universal coverage rather than policies narrowly targeted at the poor. Successful examples like Nordic countries and East Asia had social policies that benefited middle income groups to fund services. 2. Currently, emerging economies are pursuing new social policies like cash transfers, employment programs, and universal healthcare to address modern risks from globalization, changing work, and climate change. 3. These new policies reflect a "quiet revolution" where countries are adapting institutions and social contracts to proactively deal with

Rebecca Barber - Learning from Humanitarian Response in SE Asia

Development Futures

This document discusses humanitarian response issues in Asia Pacific. The region experiences the most natural disasters globally and numbers are increasing due to climate change. While national disaster management capacities are growing, capacity is not keeping pace with rising disaster risk and international assistance is still needed. However, some countries now assert national leadership and few formally request aid. The cases of 2011 Thailand/Cambodia floods and Philippines storms show different responses. Thailand/Cambodia welcomed but did not request aid, frustrating responders. The Philippines formally accepted help, activated coordination bodies, and response was well-coordinated under government leadership. Key components of the humanitarian system assume international leadership but there is a need to better recognize growing national capacities and leadership.

Nicola Piper - More than Remittances

Development Futures

This document discusses resistance to the dominant discourse around migration and development. It outlines the emergence of "global migration governance" led by international organizations that focuses on migration management and views migrants as agents of development based on remittances. It argues this perspective sidelines human and labor rights. The document then examines the global migrant rights movement as a form of resistance, including networks like People's Global Action and the Global Coalition on Migration that advocate for a rights-based approach recognizing migrant agency and rights in both home and destination countries. It argues this resistance aims to democratize migration governance and ultimately make migration a choice rather than necessity.

Lisa Hannigan Rethinking graduation and social protection

1. Rethinking Graduation and Social Protection: A Realistic Aspiration? Lisa Hannigan , Senior Sector Specialist Social Protection Paba Siriwardana, Social Protection Specialist

2. What is social protection? What is its aim? Tackle poverty, vulnerability and promote pro-poor economic growth

3. But what does it mean in the context of graduation? Protection (cash transfer) Prevention (insurance) Promotion (economic opportunities)

4. Time bound vs. Escape from poverty?

5. What are the common graduation programs? Asset Transfer Programs • BRAC CFPR – Targeting the Ultra Poor Public Works Programs • Ethiopia’s Public Safety Net Program

6. Why are they popular? Clear exit strategy Value for money Return on investment

7. Why are they contentious? • Loses sight of the fundamental purpose of social protection • Time frames are too short to break the cycle of poverty

8. • Assumes lives and livelihoods are linear and the assets will make them resilient against future shocks. • Assumes programs are replicable across different contexts • Can be gender blind

9. What do beneficiaries think? “Beneficiaries themselves, of course, have no concept of the point at which they might have graduated” - Nicholas Freeland, Consultant

10. What are the risks of supporting graduation programs? • If political support is fixated on (unrealistic) graduation targets, a failure to reach them can not only cut the ‘productive’ element of the program, but also the ‘protective’ element • Perverse incentives if thresholds are known

11. What does the evidence tell us about the success of graduation programs? • Positive results – but for how long? • Indicators for measuring resilience adequate or too low? • Do we need more insights from beneficiaries? • Can the program be undermined by the state? (India’s NREGA impact on CGAP pilot)

12. Where to from here? How to use graduation wisely • Poverty reduction is a long term investment, not a 3 – 5 year project • Need a broad based comprehensive social protection strategy that addresses lifecycle risks • Examples: Aid program investments in Indonesia and the Philippines
