Abstract:

In 2007, the NGO AVSI Uganda and two of the IPA Investigators surveyed more than 600 young females aged 14 to 35 affected by the conflict in northern Uganda, including more than 200 women formerly abducted by an armed group. The evidence from the survey, along with program experience among NGOs in northern Uganda, suggests that the development of new economic opportunities and building social capital will be crucial ingredients in reducing poverty and improving the health, education and psychosocial well-being of youth, especially young women.

Innovations for Poverty Action

Sampling Procedure:

120 communities chose 15 to 20 of their neediest residents for the program and grant. The full sample totaled 1,800. In October 2009, 60 communities were randomly chosen to have all of their nominated residents receive the program and cash.
