Country Purpose:
Islamic Relief Worldwide in Indonesia has been operating since 2003 and officially became Yayasan Relief Islami Indonesia in January 2022. The objective of the Yayasan Relief Islami Indonesia program is to contribute to the social welfare of the Indonesian people and to alleviate suffering. The main sectors for the program include:

Project Overview:
Islamic Relief Indonesia currently implementing project of the MAKE EXTREME POVERTY HISTORY THROUGH POOR GRADUATION APPROACH (MEMPHIS-PGA). The overall objective of this project is to make poor women, men, girls, boys, elderly, and people with disability to enjoy their new dignified life after they are graduating from the poverty trap through Ultra Poor Graduation Approach. To achieve this objective, the project will be implemented for 3 years from June 2024 to May 2027.
Ultra-Poor Graduation Approach (UPG) is a new approach in poverty alleviation programme that is already proven to be effective in Bangladesh. There are 5 pillars in UPG: (1) Better Consumption, (2) Increasing Income, (3) Establish Financial Inclusion, (4) Effective Social Empowerment, and (5) Foster Social Development. These pillars are implemented integratively with sufficient period between 3 to 5 years.
In Indonesia, the poverty alleviation programme is not integrative and comprehensive. Therefore, Islamic Relief Indonesia will try to apply Ultra Poor Graduation Approach as it is in Bangladesh, but with several adjustments based on the local context. The project will be targeting the poorest of the poor in 2 provinces, namely in the area where Islamic Relief Indonesia is already working: NTB and Banten province. Fifty percent of the rights holders is RHs of graduation model intervention, and the rest will be the ones who have received intervention from us but still need some support due to missing and/or gap against UPG approach. The rationalization for this are a) meeting all pillars of graduation model which is providing a comprehensive intervention to targeted RHs and b) providing longer and complementary intervention since the previous RHs only received short-term and limited support The project will be implemented for the period of 3 years from June 2024 to May 2027. The budget is 2.5 million CAD from Islamic Relief Canada.
The project will be implemented in 2 provinces are West Nusa Tenggara Province (West Lombok District, East Lombok District and Central Lombok District) and Banten Province (pandeglang District).
