This practical compendium is designed to inform the dialogue of humanitarian and development actors around the graduation concept applied in the refugee response in Uganda. Policy documents and implemented interventions vary in how they define graduation, selfreliance, and resilience which hinders a shared understanding of the concepts. The ongoing work led by Office of the Prime Minister (OPM), Ministry of Gender Labour & Social Developmen (MGLSD), Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF) and the Livelihoods and Self Reliance Working Group to standardise measurement and interventions for self-reliance in the refugee response is a critical exercise and opportunity for partners to learn from one another.
