SPIR RFSA Workshop 1: The effects of group therapy and cash on mental health and household well-being
No full textLeveraging social protection for women’s engagement in sustainable land management: IPSR Innovation Profile. First edition, March 2024
No full textThis sustainable land management (SLM) innovation draws on qualitative formative research, co-design of an innovation with partners, a quantitative impact evaluation testing the innovation, and resulting guidance for partners on implementing the innovation. This project is delivered as part of a multifaceted graduation model social protection program, SPIR II (Strengthen Productive Safety Net Program Institutions and Resilience II) that seeks to further sustain nutrition security and reduce risks to livelihoods for households participating in the Ethiopia’s national safety program, the Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP), which provides consumption support in the form of cash and food transfers. The goal of the SLM innovation being tested is to leverage social protection to promote women’s engagement in sustainable land management practices. Strengthening women’s involvement in sustainable land management is seen as potentially important given that extreme weather events pose risks for poor households in rural Ethiopia and women may be disproportionately at risk from these shocks. For example, Kato et al (2021) find that plots controlled by women in Ethiopia are more prone to soil erosion and of poorer quality in terms of soil depth, and women’s participation in watershed committees is low. The sustainable land management practices being introduced may help protect women and their families from these shocks over the longer term as well as introduce an additional livelihoods avenue. The innovation tested includes providing training (to either women only or to both men and women from same households) and free inputs (tree seedlings, vegetable seeds and tools for home gardening) among participants of the PSNP public works program, thus helping to address constraints to accessing information and inputs, and assessing whether spousal cooperation is important for successful adoption of these technologies
Encouraging adaptation of sustainable land management technologies in rural Ethiopia: Findings from baseline data collection
No full textBaseline survey findings from a randomized control trial that examines the effects of a sustainable land management training delivered to couples or women only in the context of rural Ethiopia where all participants are beneficiaries of a targeted social safety net program. The baseline survey was conducted in June 2023 and results were presented to implementation partners in October 2023
Strengthen PSNP Institutions and Resilience Phase II (SPIR II), Ethiopia: Group Problem Management Plus (g-PM+) Pilot Screening Survey
No full textThe study's objective is to estimate the impact of group Problem Management Plus (GPM+), with and without a lump-sum cash transfer, on mental health, daily activities, and economic outcomes among Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) clients in the regions of Amhara and Oromia. The population for this study consists of individuals residing in Amhara and Oromia who are registered and assisted by the PSNP public works program. Moreover, to be eligible, individuals must show signs and symptoms of depression or dysfunction, be between 18 and 59 years old, and be the main decision-maker or spouse of the main decision-maker. The impact of GPM+ will be assessed through a two-stage cluster randomized control trial (cRCT) design.
The data included here comprise the results of a mental health screening, from which we identified respondents who were eligible for our study, and a baseline survey that includes measured characteristics of eligible respondents. These characteristics include household-level indicators such as food security and household consumption, and respondent-level indicators such as mental health outcomes. Per household, up to two people aged 18-59 years are screened (the primary decision-maker and spouse). The screening survey assesses depression and functionality using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule 2·0 (WHODAS). Data are organized by modules. In the screening data, Module A is at the household level, and Module B is at the respondent level
Strengthen PSNP Institutions and Resilience Phase II (SPIR II), Ethiopia: Group Problem Management Plus (g-PM+) Pilot Baseline Survey
No full textIFPRI, in collaboration with World Vision (WV) and implementation partners, evaluated the impact of a psychotherapy intervention, group Problem Management Plus (gPM+), with and without a one-time lump sum cash transfer. The study is an interventional study using a cluster randomized control trial (cRCT) design that occurred in 70 kebeles across the regions of Oromia and Amhara. The evaluation includes a screening survey to assess eligible men and women; a baseline survey conducted before implementing the gPM+ or cash transfer intervention (June-July 2022); an endline survey conducted on the same individuals right after the interventions (September 2022-October 2022); and a one-year post-intervention survey conducted approximately one year after the endline (September-October 2023).
This dataset pertains to the baseline survey and contains baseline demographic information on the sample in the gPM+ study. The first part comprises household-level modules such as household roster, housing, assets, consumption, food security, investments, and occurrence of shocking events. The second part is composed of individual-level modules administered to the individuals screened for the study. These modules include instruments for measuring stress, anxiety, coping, self-efficacy, time and risk preference, savings, intimate partner violence, time use, and childcare
