Enhancing economic opportunities in Latin America : from poverty reduction projects to sustainable livelihoods
Abstract
The wider project promotes a process of social and economic inclusion of families in extreme poverty based on the improvement of public policies. This evaluation focuses on “The Graduation Project.” The term “graduation” centers on increasing and improving the productive, financial, human and social assets of people living in extreme poverty. For instance, activities were developed around financial management which were very useful for participants, providing clear information towards informed decisions in regard to acquiring debt and saving. The program encourages inclusive public policies in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region and contributes to the global research agenda on “graduation.”
