Evaluation in Action: Evaluating the Impact and Cost Effectiveness of Bundled Activities for Economic Recovery in Fragile Contexts

As part of the Broadening Emergency and Graduation Efforts (BEGE) Activity, Mercy Corps was interested in evaluating the most effective approaches to transition conflict-affected households to early recovery/resilience. Specifically, Mercy Corps wanted to test whether adding life skills training to existing technical training on agricultural and livestock production is cost-effective and has a greater impact on socio-economic outcomes, compared to providing the technical training alone. To evaluate this, Mercy Corps, in partnership with Casual Design, is implementing a cluster randomized control trial (RCT). Check out this brief to learn more!
