Coaching is a key ingredient in unlocking the full potential of economic inclusion programs by guiding individuals through their journey to sustainable livelihoods. However, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to designing and delivering coaching.
Coaching interventions in economic inclusion programs around the world vary in terms of content, depth and type of support, frequency, caseload, staffing, and tools. Each of these design elements influences the implementation, scalability, sustainability, and overall effectiveness of these programs.
On this topic, Rita Larok AVSI focal point for the Graduation Approach and PEI Advisory member, moderated the online event "Unpacking the X-Factor: Coaching Modalities in Economic Inclusion Programs" promoted by the Partnership for Economic Inclusion (PEI)
