What are we solving for?
We are solving for households in poverty who are also financially and socially vulnerable through a targeted, multi-faceted, and sequenced model called the graduation approach, which has demonstrated that we can durably pull households out of poverty.
At The/Nudge Institute, we have been piloting this program for the past 3 years and are in the process of catalyzing the propagation of the same. Our purpose is to contribute to making the most excluded individuals a contributing member to the economy:
Enable govt to adopt by providing research, design, and implementation support
Continue to implement on its own to iterate the design for impact at scale
Enable more NGOs to adopt technical and capacity-building support
Continue to generate data on poverty and evidence on graduation approach to nudge governments to adopt at-scale
Build technology solutions for NGOs and governments to adopt and implement at scale & with quality.
