Recall CDD unanswered questions • What is the impact of participation by itself?
Recall CDD unanswered questions • What is the impact of participation by itself? • What is the impact of the community driven approach relative to a centralized counterfactual? • What, if any, are the complementarities between a community driven and centralized approach
How will this IE answer these questions? • By using a randomized roll-out of the different project components
How will this IE answer these questions? • By using a randomized roll-out of the different project components • The capacity building component will be a “participation shock” • The two funding interventions (PRF and LDF) will provide an opportunity to assess the relative effectiveness of the community-driven and centralize approach
Project implementation and identification • The project targets 102 communes in 10 prefectures
Project implementation and identification • The project targets 102 communes in 10 prefectures • To identify the effects of the program these 102 communes are divided into 4 random groups and the different project components are rolled out as follows:
Project implementation and identification • CB : capacity building • PAF: priority action fund • LDF: local development fund
Surveys BASELINE 1st FOLLOW 2nd FOLLOW • CB : capacity building • PAF: priority action fund • LDF: local development fund
Measuring the effects • Baseline means: • 1st follow up means: • 2nd follow up means:
Measuring the effects • Capacity building effect = • PRF impact = • LDF impact =
Survey instruments • Measuring a wealth of indicators: • socio-economics • child anthropometrics • access to public services • social capital (for now only with surveys, games later) • conflict resolution • and other interesting topics
