  • In Practice. Coaching in Economic Inclusion: Learning from Existing Models and Casting a Way Forward

    Shilohni Sumanthiran and Keetie Roelen

    ABSTRACT

    Coaching is used in 90 percent of economic inclusion programs and is increasingly seen as a critical component of such interventions (Andrews et al. 2021). It is a cross-cutting element in economic inclusion programming, facilitating all other components of a program and facilitating the ‘human side’ of interventions by providing participants with the extra support and advice they need to take full advantage of program resources. This In Practice paper shares insights and lessons learned from a comprehensive literature review of economic inclusion interventions and their approach to coaching. It explores coaching along seven design parameters: scope of coaching, depth of coaching, type of coaching (individual versus group), level of engagement, caseload, staffing, and coaching tools.

  • Can a Light-Touch Graduation Model Enhance Livelihood Outcomes? Evidence from Ethiopia

    Jessica Leight, Harold Alderman, Daniel Gilligan, Melissa Hidrobo and Michael Mulford

    ABSTRACT

    This paper presents evidence from a randomized trial of a lighter-touch graduation model implemented in rural Ethiopia. Three years post-baseline, the intervention resulted in increases in assets, savings, and cash income from livestock, though there is no shift in consumption or household food security. The effects of training and savings groups alone are minimal.

  • PEI In Practice. Pathways to Climate-Resilient Economic Inclusion: A Framework for Integrating Climate Action in Economic Inclusion Programs

    Cecilia Costella, Timothy Clay, Manann Donoghoe, and Liz Giron

    ABSTRACT

    Economic inclusion (EI) approaches can play an important role in addressing the challenges at the intersection of climate resilience and poverty reduction. This publication explores the links between climate change and economic inclusion and proposes pathways through which EI programs can more strategically support climate resilience. It presents a framework for Climate-Resilient Economic Inclusion that can help inform the design of both existing and new EI programs and provides practical examples of how EI programs align their design and operations with the framework.
