Evidence Map on Graduation Programmes

A comprehensive resource designed for policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the impact of the Graduation approach for poverty alleviation

This interactive map organises more than 100 studies on Graduation programmes, their component parts, and some lump-sum cash transfer programmes, from Asia, Africa, and the Americas, making it easy to discover what works, where, and for whom. The evidence map presents a clear matrix of programme components (e.g., asset transfers, cash grants, training, and coaching) and the outcomes they affect (e.g., income, food security, health, education, and more). For further details on how the map has been developed and its contents, including definitions of interventions/components studied and outcomes, please see the brief narrative report.
