Organisational Background

BRAC was established after the independence of Bangladesh by Sir Fazle Hasan Abed in 1972 and is currently working in 10 other countries in Asia and Africa. It is the largest non-governmental development organisation in the world in terms of number of employees. BRAC International is a leading nonprofit organisation with a mission to empower people and communities in situations of poverty, illiteracy, disease, and social injustice. Our approach is to identify innovative and holistic solutions toward sustainable livelihoods and socioeconomic resilience. We achieve large-scale, transformative change by empowering individuals, especially women, and their families and communities to overcome poverty and become self-reliant and resilient. We work with local communities to innovate demand-driven programmes that integrate social development with market-based solutions like microfinance and social entrepreneurship. With our origin and roots in the Global South and our commitment to continuous learning, we have a depth of experience and evidence that enables us to respond to the needs of diverse communities with humility and courage.

About the BRAC International's Ultra-Poor Graduation Initiative (BI-UPGI)

BRAC's Ultra-Poor Graduation Initiative (UPGI) is a global unit of BRAC that was founded in 2016 to build off the success of BRAC's Ultra-Poor Graduation program in Bangladesh. BRAC UPGI aims to position the Graduation approach as a key driver to eradicate extreme poverty worldwide. It does this by:

•

Advocating for uptake of the Graduation approach by policymakers, national governments, multilateral institutions, and non-governmental organizations; and

•

Effective adaptation and implementation of the Graduation approach in countries around the world, supported through technical assistance and capacity strengthening for external stakeholders.

In 2002, BRAC pioneered the Ultra-Poor Graduation ("Graduation") approach in Bangladesh - a holistic intervention to help people lift themselves from extreme poverty - after recognizing that existing poverty alleviation programs were not reaching the poorest people. Through the provision of livelihood assets, cash transfers, and continued mentoring and training, the Graduation approach addresses participants' multidimensional needs within the local context and 'graduates' people from extreme poverty into sustainable livelihoods.

Graduation is an evidence-based, scalable intervention proven to break the poverty trap for the long term. So far, BRAC's flagship Graduation program has impacted over 2 million Bangladeshi households-totaling over 9 million people. To help eradicate extreme poverty, BRAC UPGI is working to scale globally by integrating Graduation into existing government programs and help 21 million more people lift themselves from extreme poverty by 2026.

But BRAC UPGI cannot do it alone. This is beyond the means and capacity of a single organization- no matter how ambitious or innovative. Sustainability and scale demand change at the systems level with active government engagement. BRAC UPGI is committed to creating effective solutions that leverage the available resources and existing programming to achieve the long-term benefits demonstrated by Graduation. The organization is partnering with governments, as well as multilateral institutions, NGOs, and civil society, in countries where BRAC UPGI thinks it can have maximum impact and drive greater uptake for Graduation.
