Building on PIDE’s ‘Breaking Out of the Poverty Trap’ webinar with Nobel Laureate Dr. Abhijeet Banerjee, this webinar will look closely at Poverty Graduation Models in Pakistan. The webinar will unpack what defines lived poverty and how current poverty graduation models, like NPGP’s and BRAC’s, are impacting lives and livelihoods of the ultra-poor. It will also present where these models need rethinking in their designs to sustain and amplify their graduation targets. This timely webinar will provide a critical look at how poverty alleviation is being approached in South Asia, especially in a Covid-impacted world.
