Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
Series Information
The project commissioned two independent household surveys; the first one with field work in December 2009 / January 2010 and the other one at the end of the project.

Evaluating the Rural Capacity Building Project (RCBP) involves an examination of whether the capacity building of FTCs increased the use of extension services by women at the kebele, or neighborhood, level in both female-headed and male-headed households. To determine the effectiveness of the RCBP, this project explores female farmers' demand for extension advice and how it differs from male farmers' demand. Surveys asked women about their extension use and demand after the project had been implemented.

By analyzing baseline and endline surveys, a double-difference estimator can be used to assess the project's impact. Information on farmers' plots and livestock can be compared over time to determine the effectiveness of the project. Other information such as consumption, housing, and household assets can be analyzed over time to see the effect of the RCBP on any of these variables.
Abstract
The Rural Capacity Building Project (RCBP) was launched in 2006 by Ethiopia’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MoARD) to make agricultural services and systems more responsive to clients' needs. In particular, a goal is to make clients aware of economically viable and environmentally sustainable technologies and practices. The project aims to make improvements in five major areas: agricultural technical and vocational education and training, agricultural extension services, agricultural research, information and communication systems within the MoARD, and agriculture market institutions. The project also seeks to improve women's participation in the extension system and to provide insight on HIV/AIDS and environmental issues in the region.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure
The participating households were randomly chosen from the Amhara, Oromia, SSNP, Benshangul Gumaz, and Afar regions. The sample consists of 1,609 households from Ethiopia's Amhara, Oromia, SSNP, Benshangul Gumaz, and Afar regions. Among the 1,609 households, there are 1,136 male and 473 female respondents. Among these, 10 male respondents are not heads of their households, and 46 women are not heads of their household. Thus 1,172 households have a male head, and 437 households have a female head. The average size of a household is 6 people, mostly consisting of the household head, spouse, and children. The average age of a household head is about 44. Lastly, 1,008 household heads have no education and 596 have attended at least one year of school.
