Education in Emergencies: Evidence for Action: Niger Year 2, 2017-2019

Children in crisis-affected countries (CACs) experience profound constraints on their academic learning and socioemotional well-being. The 3EA initiative (Education in Emergencies: Evidence for Action) leveraged research-practice partnership between Global TIES for Children at New York University (NYU-TIES) and International Rescue Committee (IRC) and aimed to build both scientific and practical knowledge about how to lift these constraints on children in three CACs: Lebanon, Niger, and Sierra Leone. The present dataset is part of the 3EA initiative and contains data from a large cluster-randomized controlled trial (CRCT) conducted in 2017-2018 school year, evaluating the impacts of a social-emotional learning program (Brain Games) embedded within an after-school remedial education programming on students’ academic and social-emotional outcomes. This dataset includes the data collected from Nigerien local and Nigerian refugee children attending the 28 public schools located in Diffa region, Niger.
