Some research suggests women are more likely to allocate additional resources to their children than are men. This perception has influenced policies such as in-kind food transfer programs and cash transfer programs, which often target women recipients. We assess whether targeting in-kind rice transfers to female versus male adult household members has a differential impact on children's short-run nutritional status. We estimate the impacts of transfers of edible rice and rice seeds, randomly allocated to female or male adults, on three anthropometric indicators: BMI-for-age, arm-muscle area, and triceps skinfold thickness. The trial includes 481 children aged 3-11 years in a horticultural-foraging society of native Amazonians in Bolivia. On average, the gender of the transfer recipient does not influence child anthropometric dimensions, possibly due to norms of cooperation and sharing within and between households. We find limited evidence of heterogeneity in impacts. Transfers to women help children who were growth stunted at baseline to partially catch-up to their better-nourished age-sex peers and help boys (but not girls) and children in higher-income households increase their BMI-for-age. The results of this research point to the importance of considering cultural context in determining if allocating food transfers according to gender are most effective.

一些研究表明,女性比男性更有可能为孩子分配额外的资源。这种看法影响了实物粮食转移计划和现金转移计划等政策,这些计划往往以妇女为目标接受者。我们评估了针对女性和男性成年家庭成员的实物大米转移是否会对儿童的短期营养状况产生不同的影响。我们估计了食用水稻和水稻种子的转移对三个人体测量指标的影响,这些指标随机分配给女性或男性成年人:年龄bmi、手臂肌肉面积和肱三头肌皮褶厚度。该试验包括481名年龄在3-11岁之间的儿童,他们来自玻利维亚的一个土著亚马逊人的园艺觅食社会。平均而言,转移接受者的性别不会影响儿童的人体测量尺寸,这可能是由于家庭内部和家庭之间的合作和分享规范。我们发现影响异质性的证据有限。向妇女的转移帮助那些在基线时发育迟缓的儿童部分赶上营养状况更好的同龄儿童,并帮助男孩(但不是女孩)和高收入家庭的儿童提高他们的年龄bmi。这项研究的结果指出,在确定根据性别分配食物转移是否最有效时,考虑文化背景的重要性。

ABSTRACT In July 2005, Nepal introduced the ‘Safe Delivery Incentive Programme’, which included free delivery care and supply-side incentives for women in the poorest districts. Using a difference-in-differences model and microdata from the Demographic and Health Surveys, we find the policy increased the probability of prenatal care and neonatal tetanus vaccinations, offsetting disparities between women in the poorest districts and rest of Nepal. Moreover, it was associated with a change in the source of prenatal care, from ‘other’ providers to nurses/midwives. Finally, we find that health investment decisions are interconnected across pregnancy stages; free delivery and supply-side incentives affected prenatal care.
2005年7月,尼泊尔推出了“安全分娩激励计划”,其中包括为最贫困地区的妇女提供免费分娩护理和供应方激励。利用“差异中的差异”模型和人口与健康调查的微观数据,我们发现该政策增加了产前护理和新生儿破伤风疫苗接种的可能性,抵消了尼泊尔最贫困地区和其他地区妇女之间的差距。此外,这与产前护理来源的变化有关,从“其他”提供者到护士/助产士。最后,我们发现健康投资决策在怀孕阶段是相互关联的;免费分娩和供应方激励措施影响了产前护理。

ABSTRACT Innovations are needed to address the global issue of access to high-quality education, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This paper shows quasi-experimental evidence that a digital game-based learning programme (‘Can’t Wait to Learn’) led to significantly greater improvements in mathematics competency, Arabic literacy competency, and psychological wellbeing of children aged 7–9 in Sudan, compared to state-provided education for out-of-school children, 6 months after the start of the programme implementation (n = 221). These findings were corroborated and extended by qualitative data from 33 focus group discussions and key informant interviews with children, learning directors, caregivers, community leaders, and supervisory staff. We found no difference between groups on child-reported hope, and we found evidence for a significant negative intervention effect on child-reported self-esteem, though the psychometric properties of these instruments were not adequate. We report several considerations related to the experience of local facilitators, programme implementation challenges, and the importance of community acceptance and engagement for fidelity of implementation.
需要创新来解决获得高质量教育的全球问题,特别是在低收入和中等收入国家。本文展示了准实验证据,表明在项目实施开始6个月后(n = 221),与国家为失学儿童提供的教育相比,基于数字游戏的学习计划(“等不及学习”)在苏丹7-9岁儿童的数学能力、阿拉伯语读写能力和心理健康方面取得了显著更大的进步。这些发现得到了33个焦点小组讨论的定性数据的证实和扩展,以及对儿童、学习主管、护理人员、社区领导和管理人员的关键信息提供者访谈。我们发现各组之间在儿童报告的希望方面没有差异,并且我们发现证据表明对儿童报告的自尊有显著的负面干预作用,尽管这些工具的心理测量特性并不充分。我们报告了与当地促进者的经验、计划实施挑战以及社区接受和参与对实施保真度的重要性相关的几个考虑因素。

ABSTRACT Cost-effectiveness studies rarely pay explicit attention to whether resources are used effectively to benefit the most marginalised. By linking a quasi-experimental design with detailed financial information, we analyse the cost-effectiveness of the Campaign for Female Education (CAMFED)’s programme in Tanzania. The programme provides targeted, multi-dimensional support to marginalised girls in government secondary schools in deprived rural areas. We find the cost-effectiveness of CAMFED’s programme to be similar to interventions designed for more advantaged populations who are easier (and less costly) to reach. There is further evidence of positive spill-over effects to boys in the schools supported by CAMFED.
成本效益研究很少明确关注资源是否被有效地利用以造福最边缘化的群体。通过将准实验设计与详细的财务信息联系起来,我们分析了坦桑尼亚女性教育运动(CAMFED)项目的成本效益。该方案向贫困农村地区公立中学的边缘化女孩提供有针对性的多方面支持。我们发现CAMFED项目的成本效益与为更容易接触到(成本也更低)的更有利人群设计的干预措施相似。有进一步的证据表明,在CAMFED支持的学校里,对男孩产生了积极的溢出效应。

ABSTRACT In 2016-2018 poa! Internet, a private internet service provider, distributed free internet services across schools in Nairobi, Kenya. Using inverse probability weighting (IPW) method, the study finds that the intervention significantly increases students’ internet use and training, receipt of information on educational content, and participation in information and communication technologies (ICTs) education programmes. However, the study does not find evidence that internet services increase school attendance. The results suggest that facilitating access to internet services in schools can significantly increase child computer and internet skills and training in developing countries, even if those investments have limited gains on school attendance.

ABSTRACT Resilience enhancing programmes are key to supporting people facing natural and man-induced shocks. International agencies, donors, NGOs, and governments adopted resilience as a framework for designing interventions. However, there is little evidence of the impact of these programs, especially in a fragile context. This paper evaluates the impact of a joint strategy in Somalia. Results show a positive and significant effect on a resilience construct. This paper contributes also to the literature of impact evaluation by using quasi-experimental (but solid) evidence, and by showing the effect of integrated assistance. This finding suggests investing in a diversified approach to enhance resilience.
增强韧性计划是支持面临自然和人为冲击的人们的关键。国际机构、捐助者、非政府组织和各国政府都将恢复力作为设计干预措施的框架。然而,几乎没有证据表明这些计划的影响,特别是在脆弱的背景下。本文评估了索马里联合战略的影响。结果显示,心理弹性对心理弹性构念有显著的正向影响。本文还通过使用准实验(但可靠)证据和展示综合援助的效果来贡献影响评估的文献。这一发现表明,投资于多样化的方式来增强韧性。

ABSTRACT This study complements the previous evaluation study of the Early Child Stimulation programme conducted in Bangladesh. Despite a rigorously designed randomised control trial, the presence of non-compliers made it impossible to point-identify the average treatment effect (ATE) on targeted outcomes without additional strong identification assumptions. This study provides new evidence through the partial identification approach, which estimates the ATE bound with weak but credible assumptions. The results show that the ATE bounds include the local average treatment effects and we do not find strong evidence to suggest the ATE among compliers is greatly different from that among the entire population.
这项研究补充了先前在孟加拉国进行的早期儿童刺激计划的评估研究。尽管有严格设计的随机对照试验,但如果没有额外的强有力的识别假设,非合规者的存在使得不可能在目标结果上确定平均治疗效果(ATE)。本研究通过部分识别方法提供了新的证据,该方法以弱但可信的假设估计ATE界。结果表明,ATE边界包括局部平均治疗效果,我们没有发现强有力的证据表明编译者的ATE与整个人群的ATE有很大差异。

ABSTRACT There has been minimal consideration of the implications of demographic and social shifts for future old-age social protection needs and programming in sub-Saharan Africa. In this paper we address this gap, building on the example of Rwanda. We utilise mixed-methods research to show that aggregate national statistics mask many of the complex vulnerabilities that older people face. These, combined with our projections of changes in Rwanda’s economy, suggest an expanding unmet need for social protection among Rwanda’s older population. A universal social pension is one affordable way to respond to this gap in provision both now and in the future.
撒哈拉以南非洲的人口和社会变化对未来老年社会保护需求和规划的影响考虑很少。在本文中,我们以卢旺达为例来解决这一差距。我们利用混合方法研究表明,国家统计数据掩盖了老年人面临的许多复杂脆弱性。这些,再加上我们对卢旺达经济变化的预测,表明卢旺达老年人口对社会保护的未满足需求正在扩大。普遍的社会养老金是一种负担得起的方式,可以弥补现在和未来的供应缺口。

ABSTRACT BRAC Bangladesh trains community health workers to communicate about nutrition in its Maternal, Newborn and Child Health programme. We estimate the programme’s impact on nutrition outcomes among rural Bangladeshi children of two years and younger. We find positive effects on dietary diversity, and show that the programme reduces stunting with 7 percentage points using data from 1600 households in 40 beneficiary mouzas and 40 comparison mouzas. We find larger effects for households where primary caregivers have finished primary school. We did not find effects on wasting, which in contrast to stunting is higher among children with primary caregivers without education.
孟加拉国BRAC培训社区卫生工作者在其孕产妇、新生儿和儿童健康项目中进行营养交流。我们估计了该计划对孟加拉国农村两岁及以下儿童营养状况的影响。我们发现了对饮食多样性的积极影响,并利用来自40个受益区和40个比较区1600户家庭的数据表明,该计划将发育迟缓率降低了7个百分点。我们发现,主要照顾者已完成小学教育的家庭受到的影响更大。我们没有发现对消瘦的影响,与发育迟缓相比,在没有受过教育的主要照顾者的儿童中,消瘦的发生率更高。

We find larger effects for households where primary caregivers have finished primary school. We did not find effects on wasting, which in contrast to stunting is higher among children with primary caregivers without education.","PeriodicalId":46384,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development Effectiveness","volume":"40 1","pages":"279 - 297"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82473886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT This paper evaluates the imposition of caps on microcredit lending rates through credit policies for productive sectors. This financial inclusion intervention provides a unique quasi-experiment, allowing to estimate its effect following a difference-in-differences analysis. Our results suggest that the imposition of interest rate ceilings negatively affected the portfolio balance of new microcredits and loans to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) granted by Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs). The balance of the microcredit and SME loans portfolio granted by MFIs, relative to the company portfolio granted by banks, decreased by 26.1% for an average MFI for the period 2011-2018.
本文通过生产部门的信贷政策评估了小额信贷贷款利率上限的征收。这种普惠金融干预提供了一个独特的准实验,允许在差异中差异分析后估计其效果。我们的研究结果表明,利率上限的实施对微型金融机构(MFIs)发放的新小额信贷和中小企业贷款的投资组合余额产生了负面影响。2011-2018年期间,小额信贷机构发放的小额信贷和中小企业贷款组合的余额相对于银行发放的公司贷款组合下降了26.1%。
