The NPGI aims to assist the ultra-poor and very poor in graduating out of poverty on a sustainable basis. The NPGI is aligned with the strategic goal of the Government of Pakistan to halve poverty by 2025. The Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund (PPAF), an autonomous not-for-profit company, and forty partnering NGOs execute this initiative. This program was developed in close collaboration with the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) – the flagship cash transfer program of Pakistan.

Social Protection for Employment Community (SPEC), supported by DFAT and GIZ, has published a series of 9 infographics on employment generation programs linked to social protection. These programs aim to boost productivity and income and build resilience of the poor. The objective of the infographics is to help readers learn the key features of these programs. They also provide links for further learning. This infographic on National Poverty Graduation Initiative (NPGI) - Pakistan is one of the infographics published by SPEC.
