Cash transfers and parenting programmes are common interventions aiming to improve early childhood development in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) during a child’s first 1,000 days. These programmes typically improve child nutrition and/or cognition in the short run, but often experience fade-out of impacts over time.
To inform the design of cost-effective policies all across the early life-cycle, there is a need for knowledge (i) on longer-term impacts of these interventions and (ii) on how sequential early childhood development interventions in a child’s life interact with one another in improving early childhood development outcomes over time. This project aims to contribute essential building blocks for such early life-cycle research, by conducting a second Kizazi Kijacho (KK) follow up survey to assess impacts at age 2 of a parenting and cash transfer intervention implemented during the first 1,000 days.
