•Although microfinance plays a role for improving livelihoods of the poor, ultra poor are often bypassed.
•Ultra Poor are largely left out of the mainstream development programmes.

Background of CFPR-TUP• BRAC started its journey in 1972• In 1985, BRAC started Income
Generation for Vulnerable Groups Development (IGVGD)
• Since the traditional microfinance was not reaching the extreme poor people, special interventions were needed to ‘push down’
• BRAC has launched the programme called in short “CFPR-TUP” in 2002.

SOME OF THE KEY LESSONS LEARNED
• Capturing the heterogeneity of the poor is critical for designing and implementing extreme poverty reduction programmes
• ‘Intensive hand holding’ has to have a central focus
www.brac.net
Special efforts needed to change the “mind set at all levels” .
Social mobilization is necessary to create an enabling environment for the ultra poor
Facilitated access to formal health care services is necessary
