The effect of transfers and preschool on children’s cognitive development in Uganda
3ie Impact Evaluation Report 32
Gillian, DO and Roy, S
This study by Gilligan and Roy examines the impacts of two transfer modalities linked to school enrolment on children’s cognitive and non-cognitive development in Karamoja, Uganda. The study finds that while multiple micronutrient fortified food transfers had no significant impact, cash transfers led to a significant increase in cognitive measures of children by about nine percentage points relative to the control group.
