Abstract

Socioemotional skills (SES) programs are widely used to promote economic empowerment, yet their returns may depend on the type of skills targeted and social context. The impact evaluation measures the effect of different types of SES using a randomized controlled trial (RCT) among 4,500 aspiring agribusiness entrepreneurs in Nigeria within a large-scale government program. Participants were randomly assigned to an interpersonal-skills curriculum, a combined interpersonal and intrapersonal-skills curriculum of the same length, or a control group. This dataset contains survey responses from the 25 trainers who delivered the socioemotional skills intervention, covering their demographic background, professional experience, entrepreneurship knowledge, gender attitudes, and socioemotional skills measured through both self-reported scales and situational judgment tests. The surveys were conducted before the classroom trainings took place.
