BRAC Propel Toolkit 

The PROPEL Toolkit: An Implementation Guide to the Ultra-Poor Graduation Approach is intended to complement the CGAP/Ford Foundation Technical Guide. The PROPEL Toolkit addresses programme components in depth and offers tools, forms and formats from BRAC’s fourteen plus years of implementing Graduation programmes and technical advisory services to other implementing partners in several countries in Asia and Africa. The Toolkit also contains valuable insights and learning from peer organisations advising on and implementing the Graduation approach around the world.

The PROPEL Toolkit is a step-by-step guide to help your organisation implement a Graduation programme. This Toolkit covers the basics of the BRAC model and its evolution, the steps involved in planning and staffing up, on-the-ground implementation and strategies for monitoring, evaluation and learning. Each section covers the process involved, as well as tips, local case studies, specific considerations for adaptation and tools. The PROPEL Toolkit highlights factors for consideration and success to enable your organisation to engage in a thoughtful, strategic planning process and develop a comprehensive Graduation programme designed for ultimate impact tailored to your specific target population.
