Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
The World Bank Africa Gender Innovation Lab and its partners conducted a baseline survey to support the interventions under component 1. These were (i) safe spaces to empower girls through the provision of life skills and SRH education; (ii) Cash transfer to cover girls’ expenses (transportation cost, food…); (iii) support to income-generating activities (IGA) with the provision of grants and entrepreneurship training and finally (iv) community sensitization by religious and village leaders. The latter two have the objective to change restrictive social norms and create an enabling environment for girls’ empowerment.
These data represent the first round of data collection (baseline) for the impact evaluation. The sample comprises 2,165 households and girls living in the regions of Hadjar Lamis, Kanem, Lac and Salamat.
The information gathered from the survey may aid decision makers in the formulation of economic and social policies to:
- reduce fertility and child marriage by improving access to contraceptive methods and improving reproductive health knowledge.
- foster women’s empowerment through enhancing their access to economic activities.
The survey can be an important source of information for planners to know how to improve the quality of people's living standards, in particular women’s living conditions. The Ministry of Social Affairs, Children and Families and the Ministry of National Education of Chad would benefit from the data of this survey, together with other public organizations working on girls and women empowerment and reproductive health. District Authorities, Research Institutions, Non-Governmental Organizations and the general public will also benefit from the survey data.

Sampling
The sample covers 2,165 girls across 40 secondary schools and 200 rural villages in the regions of Hadjer Lamis, Kanem, Lac, and Salamat. A share of the sample targets in-school girls aged 10 to 19. For these, the Ministry of National Education provided a list of 48 eligible lower and upper secondary schools.
For the community-based safe spaces, which target out-of-school or never-schooled girls aged 12 to 24, 130 rural villages located around the 16 treatment schools were selected.
The objective of the baseline survey was to build a comprehensive dataset that captures the pre-intervention characteristics of all targeted populations, thereby serving as a reliable reference point for evaluating changes attributable to the program during subsequent follow-up rounds.
Survey instrument
The data consists of responses from households to questions pertaining to:
- List of household members
- Education and employment of household members
- Characteristics of housing and durable goods
- Chocs and food security
- Household head's aspirations for their children
- Attitudes on women's empowerment and gender equality
The questionnaire administrated to girls contains the following sections:
- Education
- Marriage and children
- Aspirations
- Reproductive health and family planning
- Psycho-social
- Women's empowerment
- Gender-based violence
- Income-generating activities
- Savings and credits
- Personal relationships and social networks
- Migration
The household questionnaire was administered to the head of the household or to an authorized person capable of answering questions about all individuals in the household. The adolescent questionnaire was administered to an eligible pre-selected girl within the household. Considering the modules of the adolescent questionnaire, it was only administered by female enumerators. The questionnaires were written in French and programmed on tablets in French using the CAPI program.
