Activate the potential of families, businesses and communities

An organization finds out about the Stoplight and, based on their objectives and capacity, chooses if they want to use the Stoplight in their organization and/or become a distributor of the tool.

The organization signs an agreement and receives training on the technology and methodology. They choose their target population and embed the Stoplight into their programs.

Families from their target population complete the self-assessment survey, which helps them not only to become aware of their situation, but also to visualize a life where all indicators are green, representing a life without poverty.

Out of all indicators marked red or yellow, families select the ones they want to improve first. An integrated intervention model helps families reflect on possible causes for these reds and yellows as a basis to design their own poverty elimination strategy.

With their personalized poverty elimination plan in place, participants identify solutions to address the selected indicators. Supported by the organization, they leverage resources from within themselves, their communities, NGOs, companies, government agencies, and the Poverty Stoplight’s Bank of Solutions. By actively implementing strategies to improve their situations, participants remain the central agents of change.

After implementing their solutions, participants conduct follow-up self-assessments typically between six and twelve months later. These assessments help them gauge their progress and identify new priorities for improvement. Organizations can monitor these results and gain insights from successful strategies to refine future interventions.
