What are we solving for?
We are solving for households in poverty who are also financially and socially vulnerable through a targeted, multi-faceted, and sequenced model called the graduation approach, which has demonstrated that we can durably pull households out of poverty. At The/Nudge Institute, we have been piloting this program for the past 3 years and are in the process of catalysing the propagation of the same.
Our purpose is to contribute to making the most excluded individuals contributing members to the economy:
- Enable the government to adopt by providing research, design, and implementation support
- Continue to implement on its own to iterate on the design for impact at scale

- Build technology solutions for NGOs and governments to adopt and implement at scale & with quality.
