Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index: Proof of Concept
data.usaid.gov | Last Updated 2019-01-31T20:24:31.000ZThe index is a significant innovation in its field that measures multiple indicators of empowerment, and generates metrics that can be compared over time. It is the first tool of its kind. Piloted in 2011 and launched in February 2012, the US government is using the index to track change in women's empowerment that occurs as a direct or indirect result of Feed the Future interventions in targeted geographic zones within the initiative's 19 focus countries. Data for the WEAI will be collected every two years in all 19 countries, and baselines were collected in 2011 and 2012. USAID and partners will conduct data analyses to understand the relationships among empowerment, livelihoods, and food security, as well as relationships among the various components of the index. Feed the Future will also use the WEAI for impact evaluations of distinct projects to examine the effectiveness of different approaches and how they impact women and men. To protect the personal information of respondents, all personally identifiable information was removed. The data used for the proof of concept were drawn from a survey in Bangladesh available on this platform.

USAID A Ganar Alliance Impact Evaluation
data.usaid.gov | Last Updated 2019-10-22T18:02:45.000ZThe A Ganar Alliance impact evaluations (IEs) are two interrelated studies designed to assess the effectiveness of the A Ganar sport-for-development program in Honduras and Guatemala, allowing USAID to compare outcomes in different contexts, increasing the external validity, or generalizability, of evaluation findings. Both evaluations utilize a mixed-methods, randomized control trial (RCT) approach to provide quantitative estimates of project impact as well as qualitative data regarding the lived experiences of beneficiaries. Both studies answer the “proof-of-concept” question: to what extent does participation in and completion of the A Ganar program increase the likelihood that youth will obtain and maintain jobs, return to school, start their own business or reduce risky behavior? It is important to note that reduction in risk behavior was not an objective of the A Ganar program, but USAID added this metric because A Ganar was working in high violence contexts and wanted to understand programmatic effects on violent/risky behaviors. Additionally, by comparing A Ganar to similar non-sports programs, the Guatemala evaluation explores whether or not sport provides additional benefits to workforce development programming. This submission contains baseline, midline, and endline data from both countries where the program was implemented, in Guatemala and Honduras. The A Ganar program hypotheses was tested through a rigorous five-year RCT. The target population for the intervention is at-risk youth living in Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula, Guatemala City and surrounding areas. Data was collected from six cohorts (two pilot cohorts and four evaluation cohorts), each surveyed at three distinct times between 2013 – 2016: (1) a baseline completed within two weeks of the final application interview, (2) an immediate post-program follow-up, and (3) an endline occurring 18 months after program completion. Excluding the pilot cohorts, the total sample size for the study is 3,070 respondents (1,219 in Guatemala and 1,851 in Honduras). Randomized assignment was conducted at the individual level within each local implementing organization (IO) resulting in three groups: 1,389 treatment youth (A Ganar), 410 comparison program youth (non-sports), and 1,271 control youth (no program). For endline, an attempt was made to survey all 3,070 youth. Enumeration teams were able to complete interviews with 2,593 (75 percent in Guatemala and 90 percent in Honduras) of the youth.
