The National Poverty Graduation Programme (NPGP) is an International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and Government of Pakistan (GoP) funded programme to be implemented over a period of six years from 2017 to 2023. The programme aims to assist the ultra-poor and very poor in graduating out of poverty on a sustainable basis while simultaneously improving their overall food security, nutritional status, and resilience to climate change. The development objective of the programme is to enable the rural poor and especially women and youth to realize their maximum development potential and attain a higher level of social and economic wellbeing through a proven, flexible, and responsive menu of socioeconomic assistance.

The poverty graduation model of NPGP combines elements of three distinct approaches – Social Mobilization, Livelihoods Development, and Financial Inclusion — and draws on the most relevant aspects of these to deliver results by combining support for immediate needs with longer-term human capital and asset investments to move households out of extreme poverty and into sustainable livelihoods. In this process, the capacity-building of community organizations through strong social mobilization support is key to supporting individual households to access multiple linkages and growth opportunities from markets, private sector, and government. The programme is covering 21 districts in 4 provinces across Pakistan.

NPGP intends to hire qualified and competent professionals against the following positions:
