Replication Data for “Assessing Multicountry Programs Through a “Reach, Benefit, Empower, Transform” Lens”

This dataset accompanies Quisumbing et al. (2023), Assessing multicountry prog… (Global Food Security, 37, 100685). It contains the final cleaned data and do-files used to reproduce the study’s analyses of the JP RWEE program in Ethiopia, Niger, Nepal, and Kyrgyzstan.

The surveys measure women’s empowerment outcomes using pro-WEAI indicators, which apply stricter adequacy cut-offs than A-WEAI and extend beyond agriculture to other livelihood activities. The dataset retains the A-WEAI structure and weights to compute empowerment scores, empowerment status, and intrahousehold inequality measures.

Data include two survey rounds in Ethiopia (baseline Dec 2016–Jan 2017; endline Feb–Mar 2019; 750 households, 723 panel cases) and Niger (baseline Feb–Mar 2016; endline Oct–Nov 2020; 580 households at baseline with replacement sampling for attrition), and one round each in Nepal (Jan–Feb 2021; 1,300 households and Kyrgyzstan (Jan–Feb 2021; 1,946 households. Each country sample includes a comparison group constructed using methods tailored to the local context. Because data collection was undertaken by external partners, IFPRI holds only the cleaned datasets and code used for the analyses. Household- and Community-level Surveys
