UNRISD: Building Livelihoods & Promoting Rights? The Graduation Approach to Social Protection

Fuente: UNRISD / 22 de junio de 2016

What is “graduation” in the context of sustainable development?

Not just a ceremony to celebrate finishing school, graduation is when rights-holders leave a social protection programme after reaching certain pre-determined indicators.

At this UNRISD Seminar, experts will discuss:
• whether or not graduation is compatible with a human rights-based approach to social protection;
• different contexts in which it is applicable, such as climate-change adapted contexts; and
• how it can be adapted to meet the needs of different groups, such as refugees and other displaced persons.
