Trickle Up’s Approach to Graduation

Trickle Up uses an evidence-based approach, Graduation, to address the unique complexities of extreme poverty.

Trickle Up’s core competencies are rooted in the Graduation Approach – a rigorously tested approach to economic inclusion that helps households sustainably move out of extreme poverty. Program components work together to increase the economic and social empowerment of participants.
