Unpacking the Graduation Approach in Ghana Researchers: Abhijit Banerjee, Dean Karlan, Robert Osei, Christopher Udry, Hannah Trachtman


A six-country study found that the Graduation Approach—a multi-faceted program that provides families with a grant of productive assets, training, coaching, and savings—was effective at building sustainable income for those in extreme poverty.

But it comes with a unique challenge: those policymakers can change in the middle of a study due to a political transition or staff turnover. When that happens, what does that mean for the research? Months of organizational planning typically go into a research project, and the prospect of blowing it up and doing something new can be daunting. In this blog post, we discuss IPA Mexico’s experience working through a political transition and what it’s taught us about how to effectively partner with policymakers more generally, and outline a few strategies that may be applicable to other contexts as well.
