to establish impact, attributing observed changes in welfare to the
intervention, while identifying key factors of success. Impact
evaluations are aimed at providing feedback to help improve the
design of programs and policies. They also provide greater
accountability and a tool for dynamic learning, allowing
policymakers to improve ongoing programs and ultimately better
allocate funds across programs. Such a causal analysis is essential
for understanding the relative role of alternative interventions in
reducing poverty. The papers in this section again adopt a variety
of techniques. The rst two impact evaluation studies employ
propensity score matching to establish, ex-post, a valid control
group to assess the impact on child schooling outcomes among b- e
ciaries of various interventions in Kenya and Ethiopia. The third
chapter c- ries out an ex-ante evaluation of alternative cash
transfer programs on child school attendance in Uruguay. The nal
paper further carries out in-depth macro-modeling and
micro-regression analysis to simulate the impacts of the food
crisis and various policy responses, including food subsidies and
cash transfers, on various dimensions of child poverty in Mali.
Though using different approaches, the studies are gen- ally in
agreement concerning the positive impact of the cash transfer
program on child schooling and labor market outcomes. The studies
from Kenya and Uruguay both nd that the schooling interventions are
progressive.
