dc.description.abstractGraduation’ is increasingly stated as an objective of social protection interventions. This lecture emphasizes the importance of understanding graduation as a sustained improvement in livelihoods over time rather than simply an exit from social protection support. For sustained positive changes to occur in the livelihood dynamics of the most vulnerable in society, social protection programmes must be coordinated and harmonised within and across sectors. Lessons will be drawn from a variety of national social protection programmes across the globe to think about ways in which future social protection initiatives can be better adapted and tailored to the needs and rights of the poorest.en_US
