Household Survey for Evaluation of Livelihoods and Sustainable Markets Project in Ethiopia, 2014

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><br>The <I>Household Survey for Evaluation of Livelihoods and Sustainable Markets Project in Ethiopia, 2014</I> data were collected by Oxfam GB as part of the organisation's Global Performance Framework. Under this framework, a small number of completed or mature projects are selected at random each year for an evaluation of their impact, known as an Effectiveness Review. These data were used to evaluate the impact of the 'Coffee Value Chain: Linking Smallholders to a Sustainable and Scalable Business Model in Ethiopia' project which took place between September 2009 and March 2012. The project's overall objective was to contribute to improved coffee production and sales by linking coffee farmers to primary coffee cooperatives and unions. The project covered three districts where primary coffee cooperatives bought coffee directly from farmers and delivered the coffee to a cooperative union. The union supplied seeds, slashers and wire mesh and supported the farmers in seedling production. The project also included a series of training sessions for farmers and the union board. The evaluation adopted a quasi-experimental approach which involved comparing households that had been supported by the project with households in neighbouring communities that had not been supported by the project, but had similar characteristics at baseline according to the survey's recall questions. In total, 215 project beneficiary households and 432 comparison households were selected from to be surveyed from 12 sub-districts.<br>

Respondent names have been removed. Community names have been removed and replaced with codes in random order. The following variables have been recoded so as to prevent unique cases that may allow identification of the respondents: household size (capped at 11 members), age (binned in 5-year intervals), tribe (combined categories) principal work of household head (combined categories), and material of house floor (combined categories).<br>
