The program was found to be highly successful in Uganda in terms of economic, health, and social outcomes. In contrast, this evaluation finds that the program did not have any notable effect on most of these outcomes in the Tanzanian setting. The evaluation also measures the impact of the program with and without microcredit services. The findings show that the addition of microcredit improves the take-up of the program and savings of the participants. The paper explores programmatic implementation information that helps explain the marked difference in outcomes between Uganda and Tanzania. This research shows that layering additional microfinance services onto an adolescent development program can be an effective tool to attain greater inclusion of youth in financial services, and brings out important issues of the generalizability of the research findings.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2009-01-02","end":"2009-07-02","cycle":"Baseline"},{"start":"2011-06-01","end":"2011-11-01","cycle":"Follow up "}],"nation":[{"name":"Tanzania","abbreviation":"TZA"}],"geog_coverage":"Irigna and Dodoma","analysis_unit":"Individuals","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]"},"method":{"data_collection":{"sampling_procedure":"Implementation of the field activities of ELA in Tanzania started in 2009 with 100 adolescent centers in 10 branches located in Irigna and Dodoma, with a mix of urban and rural locations. We over-selected the number of communities to construct a control group. Prior to launching the interventions, the program implementation team identified 15 communities in each branch as potential sites for setting up the clubs. Stratified at the branch level, these 150 communities were randomly divided into two groups- 100 treatment communities and 50 control communities. All the treatment communities received the ELA intervention (i.e. a club, life-skills training, livelihood training and community meetings). For simplicity, we refer to this set of interventions as \u2018Club\u2019. The treatment communities were then further randomized into two groups \u2013\u2018Club only\u2019 and \u2018Club + microfinance\u2019. Therefore, there are three types of communities:\n1. Group A: \u2018Club only\u2019 communities offering adolescent development clubs and associated interventions\n2. Group B: \u2018Club + MF\u2019 offering microcredit in addition to Group A interventions\n3. Group C: Control communities with no interventions\nIn every community, a census of all eligible girls was done by the program team and used as our sampling frame. A baseline survey of 30-40 girls from each village was conducted during January-July, 2009. Table A1 shows the balance checks of the three groups in terms of their baseline characteristics. The normalized difference between the two treatment groups and the control group is less than 0.1 for all variables, which is lower than the rule of thumb value suggested by Imbens and Wooldridge (2009), and significant in only 1 of 40 cases. The clubs were established in 2009 after the baseline survey. Microfinance rollout started in early 2010 in the second treatment group after all the clubs were set up. In order to establish a panel data set, the follow-up survey was conducted during June- November of 2011 on the same adolescent girls surveyed at baseline.","coll_mode":["Face-to-face [f2f]"]}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conf_dec":[{"txt":"","required":"","form_no":"","form_uri":""}],"cit_req":"Use of the dataset must be acknowledged using a citation which would include: \n - the Identification of the Primary Investigator\n - the title of the survey (including country, acronym and year of implementation)\n - the survey reference number\n - the source and date of download\n\n Example:\n Niklas Buehren (The World Bank), Markus Goldstein (The World Bank ), Selim Gulesci (Trinity College Dublin), Munshi Sulaiman (BIGD), Venus Yam.
