In this video, Lauren Whitehead, Programme Manager, Ultra-Poor Graduation Initiative at BRAC, explains the history and objectives of the graduation approach to social protection.
Proponents of graduation programmes argue that the ultra-poor are frequently left behind by development policies, and that they do not benefit from non-inclusive economic growth. Graduation programmes, on the other hand, provide asset transfers that aim to increase productivity and household income, and strengthen livelihoods of the ultra-poor. Graduation, in this context, is measured based on indicators such as “food security, stabilized and diversified income, increased assets (including savings), improved access to healthcare, increased self-confidence and a plan for the future”. Moreover, participants are encouraged to determine their own aspirations, which should be taken into consideration when designing specific graduation programmes. This feature of graduation programmes fulfils the principles of dignity, autonomy, and meaningful and effective participation required in human rights-based social protection systems.

Partnerships, and their accompanying networks, are now presented as an essential ingredient for fair SDG implementation, to mirror the participatory spirit in which the Goals were created.
But what happens in practice? Network analysis reveals how development ‘partners’ may in fact informally depart from established rules and relationships, with the end result that networks may amplify the very disparities of power they were intended to reduce.
In this seminar, Moira Faul argues that with a better understanding of how partnership works, network members could rewire relationships for more inclusion, and ultimately better policy and practice solutions.

The 2016 Flagship Report is part of UNRISD’s contribution to implementing the new, universal 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Knowledge institutions such as UNRISD have a key role to play: we bring to the table the kind of integrated and evidence-based policy advice and thought leadership that help shape the progressive policy and normative agendas at the heart of our shared commitment to equitable, inclusive and sustainable development for all people. Research evidence and analysis can also incite states to take bolder decisions of the kind that will be necessary to achieve the transformative outcomes of the SDGs.
With your help, the report can provide the evidence and analysis that will incite states to take bolder decisions in order to achieve the transformative outcomes of the SDGs.

In this video, Director and Senior Social Policy Specialist at Development Pathways, Stephen Kidd, provides a critical perspective on the graduation approach to social protection.
Those critical of the graduation approach question its financial feasibility and sustainability. Because the graduation approach is fairly recent, there is a lack of long-term evidence that graduates will be able to have continued success. Another critique is that the graduation approach is based on rights holders being able to provide certain types of social assistance for themselves, which may exclude children, the elderly, people with severe disabilities and households without any available labour force.

Excerpts from the seminar with Guy Standing, Professor of Economic Security, University of Bath talking about his new book, The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class.
This seminar is part of the UNRISD Seminar Series. To find out more or sign up to our mailing list, visit us here: http://www.unrisd.org/
Summary:
Guy Standing introduces what he calls the precariat -- a growing number of people across the world living and working precariously, usually in a series of short-term jobs, without recourse to stable occupational identities or careers, stable social protection or protective regulations relevant to them.
They include migrants, but also locals. Increasingly frustrated and potentially dangerous because they have no voice, vulnerable to the siren calls of extreme political parties, the precariat could produce new instabilities in society.
How might these dangers be addressed? Standing outlines a new kind of good society, with more people actively involved in civil society and the precariat re-engaged. One way to this better society, he suggests, would be an unconditional basic income for everyone, contributed by the state, which could be topped up through earned incomes.

Partnerships, and their accompanying networks, are now presented as an essential ingredient for fair SDG implementation, to mirror the participatory spirit in which the Goals were created.
But what happens in practice? Network analysis reveals how development ‘partners’ may in fact informally depart from established rules and relationships, with the end result that networks may amplify the very disparities of power they were intended to reduce.
In this seminar, Moira Faul argues that with a better understanding of how partnership works, network members could rewire relationships for more inclusion, and ultimately better policy and practice solutions.

In this video, Director and Senior Social Policy Specialist at Development Pathways, Stephen Kidd, provides a critical perspective on the graduation approach to social protection.
Those critical of the graduation approach question its financial feasibility and sustainability. Because the graduation approach is fairly recent, there is a lack of long-term evidence that graduates will be able to have continued success. Another critique is that the graduation approach is based on rights holders being able to provide certain types of social assistance for themselves, which may exclude children, the elderly, people with severe disabilities and households without any available labour force.

Excerpts from the seminar with Guy Standing, Professor of Economic Security, University of Bath talking about his new book, The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class.
This seminar is part of the UNRISD Seminar Series. To find out more or sign up to our mailing list, visit us here: http://www.unrisd.org/
Summary:
Guy Standing introduces what he calls the precariat -- a growing number of people across the world living and working precariously, usually in a series of short-term jobs, without recourse to stable occupational identities or careers, stable social protection or protective regulations relevant to them.
They include migrants, but also locals. Increasingly frustrated and potentially dangerous because they have no voice, vulnerable to the siren calls of extreme political parties, the precariat could produce new instabilities in society.
How might these dangers be addressed? Standing outlines a new kind of good society, with more people actively involved in civil society and the precariat re-engaged. One way to this better society, he suggests, would be an unconditional basic income for everyone, contributed by the state, which could be topped up through earned incomes.

I walked this streets a thousand times,
Still this world never seemed colder.
Compromised a thousand times
To the will of vicious minds.
Reality never hit so fucking hard.
Crushed by endless desperation, endless surrender.
Retrace the steps, retrace the steps.
Is this what I've become?
Retrace the steps, retrace the steps.
What the fuck have I become?
Security, illusion for the weak.
Refuge, sought in routine.
Another gear in the fucking machine.
See, you can win the rat race
But you're still
Nothing but a fucking rat.
So seek that crown, because in this kingdom of fools
True ignorance reigns supreme.
I see this city for what it is,
Retrace the steps, retrace the steps
Ooooh, a monument
To the depths of human misery.
Retrace the steps, retrace the steps [x3]
