The overall objective of this project is to make poor women, men, girls, boys, elderly, and people with disability to enjoy their new dignified life after they are graduating from the poverty trap through Ultra Poor Graduation Approach. To achieve this objective, the project will be implemented for 2 years from November 2024 to October 2026. Ultra-Poor Graduation Approach (UPG) is a new approach in poverty alleviation programme that is already proven to be effective in Bangladesh. There are 5 pillars in UPG: (1) Better Consumption, (2) Increasing Income, (3) Establish Financial Inclusion, (4) Effective Social Empowerment, and (5) Foster Social Development. These pillars are implemented integrative with sufficient period between 3 to 5 years.
In Indonesia, the poverty alleviation programme is not integrative and comprehensive. Therefore, Islamic Relief Indonesia will try to apply Ultra Poor Graduation Approach as it is in Bangladesh, but with several adjustment based on the local context. The project will be targeting the poorest of the poor in 2 provinces, namely in the area where Islamic Relief Indonesia is already working: NTB and Banten province.
