BRAC TUP is a well designed program that achieves its objectives. Variants of the program are implemented in India too with good results. For non-bankable poor, such programs are necessary and it is good that the program is getting some attention. Milford has pointed out that the results might not be great and impact not really good enough. Despite what Milford says, I would tend to think that the users of the program have better insights in to what it does; academics and practitioners have reasons to glorify or berate programs and ride on the fame. If the households improved their livelihoods and are better off, then the program objectives stand achieved. The 'best outcomes' that we have in mind should not become the enemy of the 'good' ones that help poor households.
Thank you Jami, the BRAC TUP is a great programme, it's good that The Guardian is telling the world about it. And even better (and perhaps a bit unusual) that some major international donors are supporting it in spite of the fact that they had nothing to do with its original development.
