In 2013, UNHCR engaged Trickle Up to design, implement and test the Graduation
Approach (GA) in refugee settings in Burkina Faso, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Egypt, and
Zambia.

This project brief summarizes an independent evaluation of Trickle Up’s performance against four project objectives; the appropriateness of the GA for refugees; and initial recommendations on how organizations can apply a refugee lens to Graduation programs.
