Poverty graduation is one of the core pillars of USAID Nawiri’s resilient livelihoods for nutrition security strategy. It uses a time-bound and carefully sequenced package of multi-sector interventions to lift the poorest and most vulnerable households out of poverty. Using evidence from Phase 1, USAID Nawiri further adapted the BOMA Project’s Rural Entrepreneur Access Project (REAP)—a poverty graduation approach adapted to Africa’s arid and semi-arid lands—to improve nutrition security in tandem with poverty reduction. The result—REAP for Nutrition (R4N)—is built on an understanding that reducing poverty is essential to but insufficient for achieving sustainable improvements in nutrition, and poverty graduation models must integrate, link, and layer nutrition objectives with other interventions to contribute to sustainable improvements in nutrition.This learning brief highlights insights and early learning about themes prioritized for strategic and adaptive learning, such as targeting and timing, women’s time poverty, coaching and mentorship, and saturation and choice.
