CLARISSA project: survey data

The CLARISSA Cash Plus intervention represented an innovative social protection scheme for tackling social ills, including the worst forms of child labour (WFCL). A universal and unconditional ‘cash plus’ programme, it combined community mobilisation, case work, and cash transfers (CTs). It was implemented in a high-density, low-income neighbourhood in Dhaka to build individual, family, and group capacities to meet needs. This, in turn, was expected to lead to a corresponding decrease in deprivation and community-identified social issues that negatively affect wellbeing, including WFCL. Four principles underpinned the intervention: Unconditionality, Universality, Needs-centred and people-led, and Emergent and open-ended.The intervention took place in Dhaka – North Gojmohol – over a 27-month period, between October 2021 and December 2023, to test and study the impact of providing unconditional and people‑led support to everyone in a community. Cash transfers were provided between January and June 2023 in monthly instalments, plus one investment transfer in September 2023. A total of 1,573 households received cash, through the Upay mobile financial service. Cash was complemented by a ‘plus’ component, implemented between October 2021 and December 2023. Referred to as relational needs-based community organising (NBCO), a team of 20 community mobilisers (CMs) delivered case work at the individual and family level and community mobilisation at the group level. The intervention was part of the wider CLARISSA programme, led by the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) and funded by UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth &amp; Development Office (FCDO). The intervention was implemented by Terre des hommes (Tdh) in Bangladesh and evaluated in collaboration with the BRAC Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD) and researchers from the University of Bath and the Open University, UK.The evaluation of the CLARISSA Cash Plus intervention involved several data collection methods to gather information about household living standards, children’s education and work, and social dynamics. The data collection included a pre-intervention census, four periodic surveys, and 13 rounds of bi-monthly monitoring surveys, all conducted between late 2020 and late 2023. Details of each instrument are as follows:Census: Conducted in October/November 2020 in the target neighbourhood of North Gojmohol (n=1,832) and the comparison neighbourhood of Balurmath (n=2,365)Periodic surveys: Baseline (February 2021, n=752 in North Gojmohol), Midline 1 (before cash) (October 2022, n=771 in North Gojmohol), Midline 2 (after 6 rounds of cash) (July 2023, n=769 in North Gojmohol), and Endline (December 2023, n=750 in North Gojmohol and n=773 in Balumath)13 rounds of bi-monthly monitoring data: Conducted between December 2021 and December 2023 in North Gojmohol (average of 1,400 households per round)The present repository summarizes this information, organized as follows:1.1 Bimonthly_panel_hh: Panel dataset comprising 13 rounds of bi-monthly monitoring data at the household level (average of 1,400 households per round, total of 18,379 observations)1.2 Bimonthly_panel_child: Panel dataset comprising 13 rounds of bi-monthly monitoring data at the child level (aged 5 to 16 at census) (average of 940 children per round, total of 12,213 observations)2.1 Periodic_Panel_hh: Panel dataset comprising 5 periodic surveys (census, baseline, midline 1, midline 2, endline) at the household level (average of 750 households per period, total of 3,762 observations)2.2 Periodic_Panel_child: Panel dataset comprising 4 periodic surveys (baseline, midline 1, midline 2, endline) at the child level (average of 3,100 children per period, total of 12,417 observations)3.0 Baseline_endline_Panel: Balanced panel dataset comprising 558 households in North Gojmohol and 773 households in Balurmath, observed both at 2020 census and 2023 endline (total of 2,662 observations)These datasets are provided in Stata format (.dta) and Excel format (.xlsx) and are accompanied by their respective dictionary in Excel format (.xlsx).

CLARISSA现金加计划（CLARISSA Cash Plus）是一项创新性的社会保护方案，旨在解决各类社会弊病，其中包括最恶劣形式的童工劳动（Worst Forms of Child Labour, WFCL）。该项目为无附加条件的“现金加”帮扶计划，整合了社区动员、个案工作与现金转移支付。项目在达卡的高密度低收入社区实施，旨在提升个人、家庭与群体的能力以满足自身需求，以期相应减少剥夺现象与社区认定的、损害民众福祉的社会问题——其中就包括最恶劣形式的童工劳动。

本干预项目遵循四大核心原则：无条件性、全民覆盖、以需求为中心且由民众主导，以及动态响应与开放灵活。项目实施地点为达卡市北戈杰莫霍尔（North Gojmohol），周期为27个月，即2021年10月至2023年12月，旨在测试并研究为社区全体居民提供无条件帮扶与民众主导的支持所产生的影响。

现金转移支付于2023年1月至6月按月发放，另于2023年9月发放一笔投资型转移支付。共计1573户家庭通过Upay移动金融服务获得了现金援助。

该项目的“加”项服务于2021年10月至2023年12月实施，被称为基于需求的社区组织动员（needs-based community organising, NBCO），由20名社区动员员（community mobilisers, CMs）组成的团队开展个人与家庭层面的个案工作，以及群体层面的社区动员活动。

本干预项目是更广泛的CLARISSA计划的一部分，由发展研究所（Institute of Development Studies, IDS）主导，英国外交、联邦与发展事务部（Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, FCDO）资助。该项目在孟加拉国由世界之路组织（Terre des hommes, Tdh）实施，并与BRAC治理与发展研究所（BRAC Institute of Governance and Development, BIGD）、英国巴斯大学与英国开放大学的研究人员合作开展评估。

CLARISSA现金加计划的评估采用了多种数据收集方法，以获取家庭生活水平、儿童教育与劳动状况以及社会动态相关的信息。数据收集工作于2020年末至2023年末开展，涵盖项目前普查、四轮定期调查以及13轮双月度监测调查。各调查工具详情如下：
1. 普查：2020年10月/11月在目标社区北戈杰莫霍尔（样本量n=1,832）与对照社区巴鲁尔马思（Balurmath，样本量n=2,365）开展
2. 定期调查：基线调查（2021年2月，北戈杰莫霍尔样本量n=752）、中期调查1（现金发放前，2022年10月，北戈杰莫霍尔样本量n=771）、中期调查2（完成6轮现金发放后，2023年7月，北戈杰莫霍尔样本量n=769）与终期调查（2023年12月，北戈杰莫霍尔n=750，巴鲁尔马思n=773）
3. 13轮双月度监测数据：2021年12月至2023年12月在北戈杰莫霍尔开展，每轮平均覆盖1,400户家庭
