The Resilience in the Sahel Enhanced I (RISE I) initiative was implemented from 2014 to 2019 with the goal of increasing the resilience to shocks of chronically vulnerable populations in agro-pastoral and marginal agriculture livelihood zones of the West African Sahel. This report documents an impact evaluation of the initiative using data from the RISE endline survey conducted in September 2020 as well as Baseline (April 2015) and Midline (April 2017) surveys. The endline survey sampled 1,753 households residing in 88 villages and included both quantitative and qualitative data collection.
