In 2011 Concern Worldwide launched ‘Enhancing the Productive Capacity of Extremely Poor People’, a graduation programme in two districts of southern Rwanda. Drawing from the successful graduation model used by BRAC in Bangladesh, the programme offers cash and asset transfers, skills development and saving facilities with the aim of facilitating poor households to exit extreme poverty.
Since 2013, Stephen Devereux has been providing technical inputs to the evaluation of this programme.
