Series Information

Chad is a fragile country where poverty affects 42% of the population and is particularly widespread in rural areas (Savadogo and Sanoh, 2021). Located in the Sahel, Chad suffers from civil conflict and is one of the most climate-vulnerable countries globally, facing recurrent food crises exacerbated by droughts and floods, which further deepen food insecurity. Gender inequality in Chad is also among the highest in the world. The Chad safety net project supported poor and vulnerable households through cash transfers combined with an economic inclusion program in two regions, Logone Occidental and Barh-el-Ghazal, and with a cash-for-work intervention in N’Djamena. In the two regions where the economic inclusion intervention took place, cantons and villages were selected. An endline survey was conducted after the implementation of the economic inclusion intervention in March and April 2021. The endline survey sample includes data from 88 villages benefiting from the cash transfer program.

Abstract

As part of the Safety Net Project, the Government of Chad in collaboration with the Chad Safety Nets Unit (with support from the World Bank, and the Sahel Adaptive Social Protection Program) launched the implementation of productive inclusion measures to foster more productive livelihoods and improve resilience of cash transfer beneficiary households. This dataset covers the second round of household surveys from the impact evaluation of these productive inclusion measures among cash transfer beneficiary households and local spillovers. It is published along with the related paper: Premand, Patrick; Schnitzer, Pascale. 2025. "Impacts and Spillovers of a Low-Cost Multi-faceted Economic Inclusion Program in Chad".

Coverage

Geographic Coverage

The study focuses on a sub-sample of cantons in the two following regions: Logone Occidental and Barh-el-Ghazal. The 14 poorest cantons were prioritized, and within these, 88 villages (with more than 20 cash transfer beneficiaries) were selected through a lottery process.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure

The study aims to estimate both the direct impacts of the economic inclusion intervention on beneficiary households and the indirect impacts on non-beneficiary households within targeted villages. The economic inclusion intervention is layered on top of the regular cash transfer program. Out of the 88 villages participating in the regular cash transfer program, 57 were randomly assigned to receive the economic inclusion intervention. Within selected villages, the poorest households were identified through proxy means testing followed by community validation. In these 57 villages, the study aims to sample 42 households per village, including 18 cash transfer recipient households receiving the economic inclusion intervention, 12 recipients of cash transfers alone and 12 non-recipients. The remaining 31 villages serve as a control group, continuing to receive regular cash transfers but without additional support. In these 31 villages, the study aims to sample 54 households per village, including 33 cash transfer recipients and 21 non-recipient households. In smaller villages, the planned sample did not always reach these targets. In total, 4,030 households were drawn into a sample for data collection.

Deviations from the Sample Design

None.

Response Rate

The initial sample included 4,030 households, and the endline sample includes 3,532 households. Thus, the endline survey was successfully collected in 87.6% of the initial sample.
