Impact of Graduation on Child Development in Uganda - Wave 2 (Ancillary/Extension)
Sponsor: Innovations for Poverty Action
Summary
This ancillary/extension study ("Wave 2") measures child development and school readiness outcomes among children residing in households within host communities that participated in the Graduation to Resilience (G2R) randomized controlled trial in Uganda (G2R trial: AEARCTR-0004080 \[AEA RCT Registry\]; Wave 1 child assessments: NCT05531812). No new randomization or intervention assignment occurs in Wave 2; rather, we assess outcomes in children linked to households in communities previously randomized in the parent study. Wave 2 expands the eligible child age range (0-9 years) and includes age-appropriate outcomes (e.g., IDELA for school readiness; Raven's Progressive Matrices and executive function tasks for older children). We will compare children in households assigned to receive the Graduation program in the parent RCT (T1) to children in pure ("spillover") control households (C2) in host communities. Primary completion is anticipated in October 2025. Pre-analysis plans for Wave 1 and Wave 2 are posted.

Graduation
"Graduation" is a multifaceted approach that aims to support ultra-poor households in permanently escaping poverty traps. The standard version of Graduation tested in this study includes: a one-time asset transfer; monthly cash transfers; life skills coaching on topics like health and nutrition; technical skills training on topics like financial literacy; and access to savings services.
