At USAID, the Graduation Approach (GA) targets families living in extreme poverty, specifically families that live on less than a dollar a day. They are often marginalized within their communities, lacking access to services that could help them. In a bid to consolidate lessons learned, best practices, and recommendations for GA implementation across the region and in line with the growing regional community of practice around the graduation approach, USAID/Uganda’s Humanitarian Assistance and Transition Office (HATO), in partnership with the USAID Horn of Africa Resilience Network (HoRN) held a workshop in Uganda. This workshop was designed in close collaboration with USAID/Uganda’s Graduating to Resilience Activity, which has been funded by BHA for the past seven years and is in the final year of implementation. The workshop gathered regional implementing partners and participants from Missions across the region, USAID specialists from Washington, the Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), the Bureau of Resilience, Environment, and Food Security (REFS). This collaborative effort will yield a concise USAID Practitioner’s Guide, distilling practical insights for effective GA implementation in the region.
