BRAC, BRAC International and BRAC USA have organized an intensive TUP “Immersion Program” for practitioners and volunteers who are intent on understanding BRAC’s Targeting the Ultra Poor Program. The TUP Program has received wide recognition as a successful model to graduate the poorest out of extreme poverty. Three teams from Tanzania, the Philippines and from Concern Worldwide spent a few days in the field with BRAC staff. Professor Hashemi briefed high level Tanzanian government officials and Concern Worldwide practitioners on different facets of the TUP model and the possibilities of its implementation in other countries.
