Abstract
REAP for Nutrition is a poverty graduation approach that aims to improve the livelihoods and nutrition security of ultra-poor households. The brief highlights key adaptations to the REAP Classic model, including a shorter duration, geographic selection based on poverty and nutrition hotspots, and targeting of households with nutritionally vulnerable groups. The approach emphasizes the importance of market-based solutions, coaching, and layering with other interventions to achieve sustainable reductions in poverty and malnutrition. The brief also discusses the importance of addressing time and energy poverty, and the need for a holistic approach that considers the multi-dimensional vulnerabilities of ultra-poor households.
