Series Information
The End-line Survey for Impact Evaluation of the UN Joint Program Rural Women Economic Empowerment in Ethiopia is the follow up to the Baseline Survey for Impact Evaluation of the UN Joint Program Rural Women Economic Empowerment in Ethiopia conducted in 2016. The purpose of this impact evaluation is to assess the effectiveness of the UNJP in empowering women economically.
Abstract
The UN Joint Programme focused on Rural Women’s Economic Empowerment (UNJP-RWEE) was launched in Ethiopia in 2014 by UN Women, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO), the World Food Programme (WFP), and the International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD). UNJP-RWEE was a five-year long initiative with the objective of accelerating the economic empowerment of rural women in the regions of Oroma and Afar. The project provided women with greater access to credit through women-run rural savings and credit cooperatives (RUSACCOs), as well as numeracy, literacy, finance, and business-development training; agricultural livestock and technology transfers; agricultural training; and community-run educational conversations in healthy eating choices and nutrition. To assess the extent to which the UNJP was effective in empowering women economically, an impact evaluation was conducted by the FAO in partnership with IFAD, and IFPRI. The FAO received a grant from GAAP2-IFPRI, facilitated by the Gates Foundation, to conduct a quasi-experimental impact evaluation with a difference-in-difference approach using a revised version of the Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI), the Pro-WEAI. In Oromia, the list of beneficiaries including their Kebeles were retrieved from the baseline survey. In total 750 households were surveyed in the Oromia region. In Afar, the number of beneficiary households interviewed increased to 450, 250 of which were beneficiaries and the rest control. In addition to the 95 beneficiary household included at baseline, 155 new beneficiaries were included. Two additional control Kebeles were also included in Afar. Follow-up interviews were conducted with 389 women in the beneficiary communities and 358 women in the comparison communities, and 303 men in the beneficiary households and 314 men in the comparison communities. In all, there are 736 households where the same female respondent was administered the survey at both baseline and end-line.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
In the Oromia National Regional State, the same Woredas that were covered in the baseline are maintained. The list of project beneficiaries including their Kebeles was retrieved from the baseline survey which was conducted in 2017. In addition, control Kebeles were also obtained from the previous survey database. In the baseline, in the beneficiary communities, a random sample was drawn from the RUSSACO members, and from comparable kebeles. Six beneficiary kebeles were selected in Oromia: (1) Illuf Dirre and (2) Nannoo Chemerri in the Yaya Gulele Woreda; (3) Bura Adelle and (4) Wabe Burkitu in the Dodola Woreda; and (5) Abine Garmamme and (6) Annenno Shisho in the Adami Tulu Woreda. The comparison kebeles are adjacent communities in which the UNJP-RWEE does not operate but that are similar in size; have similar agricultural systems, livelihoods; and cultural norms, and thus are deemed valid counterfactuals. In Oromia, the control communities are: (1) Lemi; (2) Dedfe; (3) Haleko Gulenta Boke; (4) Werji Washingula; (5) Baressa; and (6) Keta Berenda. In Afar National Regional State, in addition to households interviewed at baseline, an additional 150 beneficiary households were interviewed in: (1) Asboda and (2) Boyina in the Dubti Woreda, and an additional 50 control households were interviewed from a newly selected Kebeles. The control communities were therefore (1) Hanikesen and (2) Aredo; (3) Gudmaydil; and (4) Gayder).
