The economic costs of a multisectoral nutrition programme implemented through a credit platform in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh struggles with undernutrition in women and young children. Nutrition-sensitive agriculture programmes can help address rural undernutrition. However, questions remain on the costs of multisectoral programmes. This study estimates the economic costs of the Targeting and Re-aligning Agriculture to Improve Nutrition (TRAIN) programme, which integrated nutrition behaviour change and agricultural extension with a credit platform to support women's income generation. We used the Strengthening Economic Evaluation for Multisectoral Strategies for Nutrition (SEEMS-Nutrition) approach. The approach aligns costs with a multisectoral nutrition typology, identifying inputs and costs along programme impact pathways. We measure and allocate costs for activities and inputs, combining expenditures and micro-costing. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected retrospectively from implementers and beneficiaries. Expenditure data and economic costs were combined to calculate incremental economic costs. The intervention was designed around a randomised control trial. Incremental costs are presented by treatment arm. The total incremental cost was $795,040.34 for a 3.5-year period. The annual incremental costs per household were US$65.37 (Arm 2), USD$114.15 (Arm 3) and $157.11 (Arm 4). Total costs were led by nutrition counselling (37%), agriculture extension (12%), supervision (12%), training (12%), monitoring and evaluation (9%) and community events (5%). Total input costs were led by personnel (68%), travel (12%) and supplies (7%). This study presents the total incremental costs of an agriculture-nutrition intervention implemented through a microcredit platform. Costs per household compare favourably with similar interventions. Our results illustrate the value of a standardised costing approach for comparison with other multisectoral nutrition interventions.

Longitudinal analysis of the impact of economic empowerment on risk for intimate partner violence among married women in rural Maharashtra, India

The purpose of this study was to assess via longitudinal analysis whether women's economic empowerment and financial inclusion predicts incident IPV. This prospective study involved analysis of three waves of survey data collected from rural young married women (n = 853 women) in Maharashtra at baseline and 9&18 month follow-ups. This study, which was in the field from 2012 to 2014, was conducted as part of a larger family planning evaluation study unrelated to economic empowerment. Participants were surveyed on economic empowerment, as measured by items on women's income generation and joint decision-making of husband's income, and financial inclusion, as measured by bank account ownership. Women's land ownership and participation in microloan programs were also assessed but were too rare (2-3% reporting) to be included in analyses. Longitudinal regression models assessed whether women's economic empowerment predicted incident IPV at follow-up. At Wave 1 (baseline), one in ten women reported IPV in the past six months; 23% reported income generation; 58% reported having their own money; 61% reported joint control over husband's money, and 10% reported bank ownership. Women's income generation and having their own money did not predict IPV over time. However, women maintaining joint control over their husband's income were at a 60% reduced risk for subsequent incident IPV (AOR = 0.40; 95% CI = 0.18, 0.90), and women gaining joint control over time were at a 70% reduced risk for subsequent incident IPV (AOR = 0.30; 95% CI = 0.13, 0.72), relative to women whose husbands maintained sole control over his income. Women who initiated a new bank account by Wave 3 also had a 56% reduced likelihood of reporting incident IPV in this same wave (AOR = 0.44; 95% CI = 0.22, 0.93), relative to those who maintained no bank account at Waves 1 and 3. These findings suggest that women's joint control over husband's income and her financial inclusion as indicated by bank ownership appear to reduce risk for IPV, whereas her income generation or control over her own income do not. Awareness of and participation in financial inclusion services may help reduce women's risk for IPV in rural India and elsewhere.

Domestic violence among ever married women of reproductive age group in a slum area of Kolkata

Domestic violence has serious impact on women's health and well-being. A nationwide survey conducted in India observed that 37.2% of women experienced violence after marriage. To assess the prevalence of domestic violence among the ever married women in reproductive age group and to find out the types of domestic violence and factors associated with it. The study was a community based cross-sectional study, conducted in a slum area of Kolkata. Overall prevalence of domestic violence was 54%, of which 41.9% suffered from both current and lifetime physical and psychological violence. Presence of property, higher per capita income and social support were protective factors against domestic violence, whereas alcohol addiction and multiple sex partners were the important contributory factors for it. The study recommended more social support, awareness and income generation for women in the slum areas.

Assistance to women's businesses – evaluating the options

The 'Women in Development' movement and women's income-generation programmes have traditionally taken a broad-based welfare approach which has emphasized improving women's general living standards rather than enhancing their independence and active participation in the main-stream of the economy. Over the past several years, people have become increasingly aware of the need to focus on entrepreneurship development as a more specific objective in the support of women in developing countries. The effectiveness of women entrepreneurship development programmes, however, has been hampered by the fact that people are still putting too much emphasis on gender, and not enough emphasis on 'entrepreneurship' as such. This article, based on experience in Kenya, presents a strategy for more effective women entrepreneurship development through a gender-neutral approach.

A case for business training with women's groups

In Kenya there are an estimated 20,000 organized women's groups whose combined membership accounts for more than 10 per cent of the country's adult female population. Not surprisingly, both governmental and private agencies view these women's groups as excellent agents through which to implement a wide range of development goals. Of these, income generation for women has been among the most popular and the most problematic. Despite strong support from the government and private agencies, the record of business promotional efforts with the groups shows that many have failed to generate significant income for programme participants. Success has proved elusive because of marginal economic climates, inadequate designs, persistent beliefs about appropriate activities for women, and insufficient skills in business management among both would-be entrepreneurs and those who set out to assist them.In contrast to the poor performance of small enterprise promotional efforts with women, minimalist credit methodologies (credit without other assistance such as training and technical assistance) are fast gaining recognition as the key to success for programmes in this sector. While the record for minimalist credit is impressive so far, Tototo Home Industries, a Kenyan NCO working to support the development of rural women's group enterprises, found that credit was not always the critical factor for this population. They learned that poor business performance is often rooted in rural women's immediate social and economic environment – in other words, in the informal sector itself. Women are first and foremost members of households and this experience is not often conducive to the operation of an independent business. To confront the poor performance of rural women's businesses, Tototo developed a new approach to business training based on a unique combination of anthropological research, elements from a standard business skills curriculum and non-formal education. While the Tototo programme was developed specifically to address problems identified with women's groups in coastal Kenya, similar problems are common to nascent groups elsewhere in Africa. Consequently, the training has proved adaptable to other situations in East and Southern Africa.

Credit For Women's Income Generation: A Tanzanian Case Study

tal organizations (NGOs) which gave the funds to their member clients as grants. This effort has proved not to be self-sustaining, so NGOs are turning to loans for income-generating activities. Also donors are turning to government organizations to administer loan funds, especially for resource poor rural and urban women. Funds have been allocated for Tanzanian women through both types of organizations. This article summarizes Tanzanian experience, especially with government administration of funding.
