From Poverty to Prosperit

Comprehensive Programme on Asset Transfers, Interest Free Loans and Skills Trainings

The National Poverty Graduation Initiative (NPGI) is part of the Ehsaas strategy. It aims to graduate the
poorest households out of poverty and set them on a course of economic and social prosperity. Its components include (i) asset transfers; (ii) interest free loans and; (iii) vocational and skills training to
make assets productive.

The graduation initiative aims to reduce dependence of the population at the bottom of the economic pyramid on government-led social safety nets (BISP, Zakat and Baitul Mal programmes) and helps to bring this population into the mainstream of economic development and nancial inclusion.

The government, in addition to its own funding, is partnering with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in this initiative.
Total projected cost of the initiative is Rs. 42.65 billion.
