Afghanistan: Quasi-experimental techniques for L3 evaluation
Secondary data and quasi-experimental approaches to assess health and child protection outcomes in Afghanistan
About
Through the use of secondary data and quasi-experimental techniques, we estimate the effects of UNICEF interventions in Afghanistan in 2022. Results show that UNICEF child protection activities reduce the probability of child labour by 13%, and areas with UNICEF-supported mobile health teams were present show a 7% higher probability of accessing healthcare and a 6.5% of having their children under the age of 5 being screened for malnutrition, as well as a 10% lower prevalence of diarrhoea among under 5.
An academic article was drafted from this working paper which was published on Social Science & Medicine.
