Abstract

The datasets include a household survey, a non-farm business survey and a community survey which were collected between November 2017 and January 2018 to document the welfare and economic impacts of the Lesotho Child Grants Programme (CGP) and the Sustainable Poverty Reduction through Income, Nutrition and access to Government Services project (SPRINGS) on direct beneficiaries and the spillover effects in the local economies. The data look specifically at several CGP and SPRINGS outcome and output indicators, related to the following areas: consumption and poverty, dietary diversity and food security, income, agricultural inputs and assets, children well-being, financial inclusion, gardening and operational efficiency of both programmes.
