Liberia: Principal Investigator of the Evaluation of the Bomi Cash Transfer Pilot
June 2011-present
The external evaluation, in collaboration with the Liberian Institute of Statistics and Geo-Information Systems, assesses the situation of cash transfer intervention households compared to non-beneficiary control households, in the areas of food security, education, health and health seeking, asset ownership, housing quality, and household expenditures using qualitative and quantitative methods. The study also assesses the scheme’s targeting approach on the basis of transparency, equity, effectiveness, and quality of implementation. The study uses quantitative surveys, in-depth and key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and observation, and employs a regression discontinuity approach and propensity score matching to reduce selection bias.
