The programme incorporates important elements of innovation/evolution as follows: a) The traditional project approach has offered a standard package –with minimal variations- for all but the people living in poverty cannot be considered as a monolithic entity. The people living in poverty have different needs, expectations and capacities. The approach now is to make available livelihoods \"options\" -different sort of grants, loans, skills..., what is known as **the \"PUSH\" out of poverty**. b) As earlier indicated, there is a need to assure that beneficiaries are connected to government services (social security, extension services...) and the economy/growth opportunities (local, physical markets and jobs in both rural and urban areas), as the \"PULL\" out of poverty. c) The emphasis on **better governance** both in terms of local governments capacities to deliver and empowerment of the women and men, which have been traditionally ignored in past safety nets programmes mostly focused on service delivery. d) Finally, the programme incorporates a sound policy support component at central level for building capacities, institutional development and support reforms around the new NSSS. Overall, this combination of field action, market linkages, social mobilization and policy work – informing each other- at the highest levels is new and unique in Bangladesh. Needless to say that it entails risks, given the multiplicity of stakeholders and components, but it is not acceptable to continue with the business-as-usual approach; instead, this new programme contributes to Government of Bangladesh reforms for a better functioning public system with greater accountability to women and men for service delivery, in particular to the people living in extreme poverty and to marginalised groups, and a stronger social security system underpinning livelihood interventions."}, {"bbox": [144, 880, 1120, 1286], "category": "Text", "text": "The **approach** of the proposed programme is to maximize both **effective results and the financial and institutional sustainability** of delivery systems to make a real difference for those, women and men, living in the most vulnerable situations : 'leaving no-one behind, while leaving something behind'. It is therefore necessary to pursue a broader implementation arrangement with a multi-stakeholder perspective and a **clear exit strategy**, developing capacities of relevant stakeholders and incentives to deliver such services in the future, as the NSSS already predicates. The proposed 10-year programme duration needs to be phased and have sufficient flexibility to adapt the approach and course correct depending on new insights and evidence and government action and delivery against commitments. The programme will therefore be structured into three parts, comprising an inception phase, an initial 5-year implementation & intensive evaluation phase, and a second, partly overlapping, 5-year implementation phase involving further scale-out. EU budgetary contribution targets the first implementation & evaluation phase, with possible additional EU leverage/funds in the form of budget support as foreseen in the EU Delegation (EUDEL) Implementation Plan."}, {"bbox": [144, 1314, 1120, 1546], "category": "Text", "text": "The action will provide a core **resilient livelihood component** going beyond the traditional extreme-poverty graduation model by providing a more flexible menu of support options that are tailored to the needs of different categories of extreme poor -rural and urban- and to different stages of livelihood development and vulnerability.
