Project Description

The project includes the following components and activities: Component 1: Development of the data collection tool IFC will design jointly with Uniminuto an evaluation methodology using the poverty scorecard and other consumer research tools. Component 2: Sampling and data collection A questionnaire will be administered to a sample of Uniminuto students and graduates to estimate their poverty levels. Component 3: Triangulation and analysis of data The survey results of both the treatment and control groups will be triangulated with socio-economic data at the time students were admitted to college, especially income information. Publicly available information such as national household surveys will be incorporated to the extent it enriches the analysis and interpretation of information from both data sources. Component 4: Capacity building of Uniminuto IFC will advise and support a designated research team within Uniminuto to design and implement the pilot, thereby building their in-house RM capacity.
