    ABSTRACT

    A multi-faceted program comprising a grant of productive assets, training, coaching, and savings
    has been found to build sustainable income for those in extreme poverty. Authors focus on two
    important questions: whether a mere grant of productive assets would generate similar impacts (it
    does not), and whether access to a savings account and a deposit collection service would
    generate similar impacts (it does not).
