ABSTRACT Using quasi-experimental treatment effect methods with unique longitudinal survey data, the paper assesses the impact of vocational training on economic mobility in the short, medium and long term in Thailand. We find that vocational training does not affect upward mobility in terms of income, expenditure and employment. The analysis of the heterogeneity of effects suggests that women, rural residents, youth and elderly, low-educated workers, and economically inactive people benefit less from the vocational training. Computer training courses, training offered by private institutions or in public-private partnerships, and training financed by employers are associated with better outcomes.

ABSTRACT While micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) have been identified as major economic drivers, they continue to face substantial financial constraints that limit their performance. The Impact Financing Envelope (IFE) of the European Investment Bank (EIB) seeks to improve credit access across developing countries through institutions such as the Development Bank of Jamaica (DBJ). This study sought to examine the ultimate impact of EIB funding through the DBJ on final beneficiaries (MSMEs) in Jamaica. Data was collected from 426 sampled final beneficiaries of the DBJ programme. To estimate the impact of credit received from microfinance institutions on the performance (sales/profits) of MSMEs, we used the instrumental variable (IV) technique, recognising potential endogeneity problems in our variable of interest (credit amount received). We also disaggregate our findings by loan recency, sex, and age of owners. The results generally indicate that the amount of credit obtained is positively associated with the performance of MSMEs. A 1% increase in the credit amount received is associated with a 0.226% increase in firm profits. The effect is lower for female-owned than for male-owned businesses and is significant only for MSMEs whose most recent credit was received within a year of the survey.

ABSTRACT We conducted a randomised evaluation of three privately managed middle schools in Uruguay aimed at providing education opportunities to adolescents from low income socioeconomic status. At 3-year follow-up, treatment students fare better in terms of academic promotion and school retention. Students in treatment schools present also better mental health, as represented by lower rates of internalising behaviours and social problems than students in the control group. Our findings suggest that a culture of high expectations, a caring and disciplined school climate, and parental involvement in school could account for some of the observed differences in academic trajectories and mental health.

ABSTRACT Academic achievement in middle schools in rural China remains poor for many students. This study examines whether programmes and interventions can improve academic achievement by reviewing rigorous experimental evaluations of nine programmes (11 interventions) on 47,480 rural middle school students in China. The results find none of the interventions improved academic achievement. Moreover, we find no evidence for heterogeneous treatment effects by student gender, age or previous academic achievement. These results may be due in part to the academically-demanding nature of the middle school curriculum, which is applied universally to students with varying levels of cognitive ability.

ABSTRACT This paper presents findings from a qualitative evaluation of Caritas’ Essence of Learning programme, which provides educational and psychosocial support to children in exceptional living situations. We analyse approaches to community and teacher engagement for: (1) a pilot programme in Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh and (2) an established, government-partnered programme serving Roma children in Satu Mare, Romania. The results indicate that ongoing community engagement is a necessary condition. Moreover, local ownership and continuous staff mentorship are key to programme quality. The paper discusses practical approaches to community engagement and how findings can be applied to emergency education.

ABSTRACT To improve resistance to upcoming vulnerabilities to climate change and cope with rising food demand smallholders in Sub-Saharan Africa need to upgrade their local food systems. Upgrading strategies (UPS) within existing food value chains have the potential to secure food at the local to regional level. In this paper, we determined the roles of actors and their interlinkages and motivations in UPS, and identified possible success factors of group performance within different UPS in Tanzania: a) tied ridges, b) optimised market-oriented grain storage, c) maize sheller and d) millet thresher. We used individual interviews, via the social network analysis tool Net-Map, as well as focus group discussions. The results show that actors’ motivations for participating in a UPS group differed between groups and between actors. Important success factors derived from these findings were favorable village locations followed by sociability and personal contact among stakeholders and with researchers. These results provide the basis for future strategic planning that will enhance participation and a potential up-scaling.

ABSTRACT This paper evaluates the effects of a conditional cash transfer (CCT) on antenatal consultations in Senegal. We conduct a non-experimental and a quasi-experimental evaluations, in which the control group is constructed using a propensity score matching method. While the non-experimental approach alone does not allow to conclude on the impact of the CCT, the quasi-experimental approach reveals that the CCT significatively increases antenatal consultations of beneficiaries. The combination of non-experimental and quasi-experimental evaluations has the potential to offer evaluation of social policies in a cost-effective way, using existing information, such as administrative data and already-collected survey data.

ABSTRACT Poverty reduction is a key objective of development interventions. Evaluating the effectiveness of policies and programmes thus requires practical, reliable and context-relevant measures of poverty. This article is the first to compare the new Extreme Deprivation Index (EDI) framework with the increasingly used global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) framework. Locally adapted versions of both non-monetary poverty measures were calculated for each household using an original survey in Rwanda’s main coffee-producing region (a high deprivation context) and another in Laos’s main coffee-producing region (a relatively low deprivation context). We examine the resulting poverty profiles and discuss implications for policy design and evaluation. We find that, despite limited overlap, in both contexts each index identifies households that are consistently worse off on multiple key markers of poverty and can therefore be considered valid measures. In addition, known key markers of poverty can predict adjusted global MPI status better than EDI status in Laos, whereas the EDI framework performs best in Rwanda. We conclude that the EDI framework provides a quick and reliable way to identify households with very low standards of living in high deprivation contexts. It is particularly useful for programmes with limited resources operating in comparatively poor rural settings.

ABSTRACT Understanding the resources needed to deliver literacy programmes at scale is critical for improving global education. We estimate the cost of early grade literacy interventions delivered at scale in government schools in Pakistan, including several teacher professional development interventions and a suite of reading materials including tablets, workbooks, readers, and libraries. The entire package cost approximately $1,531 (2019 USD) per school. Over two years of programme delivery, the primary cost driver of this literacy programme was the management, operations, and coordination costs that enabled each component; these amounted to $765 per school, or half of the total cost. Quarterly school support visits (that is, coaching) for teachers were roughly twice the cost of face-to-face trainings and were only slightly higher cost than monthly teacher inquiry groups (that is, learning circles). Using these cost estimates, we present a framework for maximising cost-effectiveness of early grade literacy programmes by using the cost of each component to set thresholds of the relative impact on student literacy that each component should deliver to be worth the cost. These incremental cost estimates of specific interventions were utilised by the government to budget for and take up components of this literacy programme.

ABSTRACT Despite policymaker demand, cost evidence is infrequently included in impact evaluations (IEs) in LMICs. This article provides a curated list of resources for researchers and practitioners who would like to incorporate cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) into an IE. We identified 1402 resources through systematic searching of peer-reviewed and grey literature, crowd-sourcing and depersonalised Google keyword searches. Resources were screened over two rounds based on their relevance to guide or inform researchers seeking to incorporate CEA into an IE. The ‘10 best’ were selected based on their usefulness; user-friendliness ; generalisability across contexts; free availability online; and to balance resources across multiple stages of CEA implementation.
