  1. Conditional Cash Transfer(CCT) Programme Kano State Nigeria

  2. Experiences from the workshop • Before: Lack knowledge on design and use of Impact Evaluation process • Now: We have learnt the design and various approaches to Impact Evaluation • Have understanding of the experimental /Non-Experimental methods

  3. Putting Knowledge in to Practice • Kano CCT as a case study • CCT will commence in Sept 2010 • Intervention: Scholarship for girls in grades 4 ,5 and 6 ( lower Basic) from low income families • Condition : enrolment and attendance • Outcome indicator: increase girls attendance and completion

  4. Impact Evaluation Design Primary Objective To evaluate if the CCT increases girls enrolment

  5. Impact Evaluation Design • The mean is the “Gold Standard” This is Randomization of schools to benefit from the CCT

  6. Technicalities • List of all schools in the target areas • Randomise in to Treatment and Control schools • Conduct Baseline survey ; • Sensitization of schools and communities • Obtain list of eligible girls from schools • Administer House-hold Surveys to a sample of eligible girls • Check if the Randomisation is valid

  7. Technicalities v. Program starts in September 2010 vi. Parents of Girls receive cash transfer 4. Follow up visits to check enrolment and attendance in treatment and control schools 5. Compare the Difference

  8. How to compare results • See the difference between the outcomes with and without the program Test the counterfactual “effect of the CCT on girls enrolment and attendance” to determine changes in the absence of the programme so that the change can be attributed to the program

  9. Challenges and Solutions Political program interference -Parallel incentives programme by LGAs • Fear of continuity • Delay in the release of funds Communicate/share the information with the Local Government councils and local communities/stakeholders

  10. Challenges and Solutions 2. Attrition: Migration of families Not much can be done to stop migration, however we can make the follow up just before the migration period

  11. Challenges and Solutions 3. Non-compliance of families/communities -early marriage, -schools/parents not willing to cooperate with the IE etc Advocacy to communities and local authorities

  12. Challenges and Solutions • 4. Spill-over effect : some families from Control group may send daughters to where the CCT is implemented Any suggestions? Please Comment

  13. Challenges and Solutions • Anticipation of future incorporation of Control schools in the CCT ( affects Change of behaviour) Any suggestions? Comment Please

  14. What next? • Communication of findings • Government • communities • Scale up by the Government if findings are satisfying

  15. Thank You
