Resumen
Descripción
The World Bank’s Africa region gender
innovation lab (GIL) conducted a randomized controlled trial
(RCT) impact evaluation of the women in agribusiness
leadership network (WALN), a transformational project
implemented in Ethiopia by agricultural cooperative
development international (ACDI) and volunteers in overseas
cooperative assistance (VOCA), and supported by United
States Agency for International Development (USAID). WALN,
as a project, aims to increase participants’ business skills
and self-confidence, enabling them to be community leaders
and change makers. WALN also seeks to improve agribusiness
outcomes by addressing gender differences in productivity,
profitability, participation, and leadership in the sector.
The ongoing impact evaluation is assessing the impact of
participating in WALN activities on the overall performance
of the selected high-potential women leaders in the
agribusiness sector. In order to assess and interpret the
impact evaluation outcomes, it is important to understand
the specific business environment, as well as the needs and
constraints faced by local entrepreneurs. Outcome data for
this impact evaluation is being collected through survey
instruments, administrative data, intensive qualitative
interviews, and implicit association tests (IATs).
