Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world, with over half of the population living in poverty. Nearly 80% of people rely on agriculture to survive, and the country is at risk of natural disasters and climate shocks that could decimate a season’s harvest. In addition, Malawi is landlocked, limiting access to ports, easy transportation, and the rest of the world.

Description:
The Graduation Model is a big push intervention designed to move people out of poverty by addressing the many challenges of extreme poverty by simultaneously boosting livelihoods and income and providing access to financial services. To-date, it represents the most promising intervention to tackle extreme poverty.
While the global commitment to eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere by2030 (SDG 1.1) is a much welcome step, the scale of the challenge remains daunting. We still have over 1.3 billion people living in extreme poverty. As women account for a large portion of the total poor, addressing gender barriers in tackling poverty is essential.
