Series Information
This project followed a seminal impact evaluation of center-based community driven preschool model in rural areas of the Gaza Province of Mozambique implemented by Save the Children between 2008 and 2010. Results of this study showed promising impact in terms of cognitive and socio-emotional skills of children in communities with ECD centers, and led the Government of Mozambique increase its involvement in preschool activities by creating 150 new ECD across 5 provinces in a first phase, and subsequently 200 additional ECD centers in a second phase.
Abstract
As part of the Education Sector Support Project, financial support has been provided by the World Bank, to the Republic of Mozambique for the purpose of scaling-up Early Childhood Development (ECD) activities in the country starting from 2012. The project includes the creation of 150 new community based ECD centers across 5 provinces in a first phase, and subsequently 200 additional centers in a second phase. This impact evaluation concerns the second phase of implementation and aims primarily at assessing the impact of ECD provision in rural area under governmental management using uses Clustered Random Control Trial at community level. The Endline datasets includes a household survey, target child assessment, and community leader questionnaire. The Endline survey data collection was carried out between December 2019 and March 2020.

Universe
Households located in eligible communities with at least a child between 36 and 59 months old and households located in eligible communities with at least a child between 0 and 35 months old and no other children between 36 and 59 months. Eligible communities are identified to meet the criteria for implementation of the program:
- The community is located in a rural area;
- The community already has a Primary School;
- The community has more than 30 children in the age range of 3-5 years old ;
- There was no other education program for children 3-5 years old in the community in the past 5 years.
- The community is located in a rural area;
- The community already has a Primary School;
- The community has more than 30 children in the age range of 3-5 years old ;

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The design used for this impact evaluation is that of a clustered randomized control trial (C-RCT) at community levels. Communities were firstly selected in each district according to eligibility criteria and then randomly assigned to the one of the four treatment arms in the Province of Nampula and to the ECD treatment or control group in the provinces of Cabo Delgado and Tete. As part of the phase 2, the project planned to provide 20 ECD centers per district, except in Cabo Delgado where Macomia will receive 10 ECD centers while Chiùre will receive 30 centers. Remaining eligible communities were kept in case of substitution was needed.
Household sample: A total of 6,171 households with preschool age children were sampled from the 236 evaluation communities at baseline. With no household listing available at the time of the survey, a census of each community was carried out to identify households with children in the age range of 36 to 59 months (and children aged 0 to35 months in Nampula). Taking the list of households with at least one child in this age range, 24 households per community were planned to be selected randomly in Cabo Delgado and Tete. In Nampula, in addition of those 24 selected household, 13 households with at least a child aged between 0 and 35 months and no child between 36 and 59 months.

Deviations from the Sample Design
In Cabo Delgado, the pool of eligible communities was too small and substitution of communities that were not accessible could not be done, leaving this province with only 76 participating communities instead of 80. In Tete, the community a non-eligible community has been mixed up with a community belonging to the sample and was then discarded from the database.
Two sampled communities were wrongly located at both Endline and Baseline and were discarded in this dataset.
Problem in the implementation of the nutrition program before baseline made non-random the assignment of communities benefiting from this program in the province of Nampula.
Additionally, insurgency in Cabo Delgado starting in 2017 made the Endline data collection impossible.

Response Rate
Response rates for endline survey at household level is 80.3%, while response rate for the child test is 78.8%.

Data Collection Notes
All questionnaires were administered using tablets and questionnaires were designed and administrated using ODK and SurveyCTO technologies. Socio-economic questionnaire was administered to the caregivers of the target child. In some specific case the caregiver was not a member of the household. In this case, questions in relation to the household were asked to the head of the household and questions in relation to the target child were asked to the caregiver.
