Note on the 2011 Lesotho Child Grants (CGP) Programme Baseline Data

Abstract

This note builds upon the household and community data for the 2011 Lesotho Child Grants Programme (CGP) baseline survey, with three additional objectives: to expand evaluation of the success of the randomized control design in achieving “balance” among observable traits and characteristics between treatment and control groups, to those variables of relevance to the Protection to Production (PtoP) project; to identify and better understand the productive activities, income and livelihood strategies that distinguish eligible from ineligible households included in the survey. to document data quality issues that will inform follow-up analysis and ‘improved practices’ in the next round of data collection
