Strengthen PSNP Institutions and Resilience Phase II (SPIR II), Ethiopia: Endline Survey

This dataset is part of the IMPEL (Implementer-Led Evaluation and Learning) evaluation of SPIR-II (Strengthen PSNP Institutions and Resilience), a randomized controlled trial initiated in 2022 to assess interventions designed to improve livelihoods, resilience, food security, and nutrition among rural households vulnerable to food insecurity in Ethiopia. The study covers 234 kebeles assigned across three treatment arms comparing standard Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP) transfers with combinations of SPIR II livelihood programming, nurturing care groups (NCGs), and targeted cash grants. Specifically, this dataset contains data from the SPIR-II endline survey, the three-year follow-up round of the trial conducted between May and June 2025. The survey was conducted approximately three months earlier than originally planned to avoid overlap with the anticipated nationwide rollout of livelihood grants under the PSNP by the Government of Ethiopia. The survey attempted to reinterview all 3,015 households enrolled at baseline across 15 woredas in the Amhara and Oromia regions. Interviews were conducted with the primary female respondent, and child anthropometric measurements were also collected. The evaluation follows the same cohort of index children over time to assess adherence to age-appropriate infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices and child growth dynamics. A total of 2,902 households were successfully reinterviewed, corresponding to a 98 percent household follow-up rate.本数据集隶属于IMPEL（实施者主导评估与学习，Implementer-Led Evaluation and Learning）对SPIR-II（强化PSNP机构与韧性，Strengthen PSNP Institutions and Resilience）的评估项目。SPIR-II是一项于2022年启动的随机对照试验，旨在评估面向埃塞俄比亚面临粮食不安全风险的农村脆弱家庭的干预措施，以改善其生计水平、韧性、粮食安全状况与营养水平。该研究覆盖234个凯贝莱（kebele，埃塞俄比亚基层行政单位），设置三个干预组，对比标准生产安全网计划（Productive Safety Net Programme, PSNP）拨款与SPIR-II生计项目、抚育关怀小组（nurturing care groups, NCGs）及定向现金补助的组合方案效果。本数据集具体包含SPIR-II的期末追踪调查数据，即该试验于2025年5月至6月开展的三年期随访轮次的调查数据。本次调查较原计划提前约三个月实施，以避免与埃塞俄比亚政府预计在全国范围内推行的PSNP生计补助计划产生时间重叠。本次调查尝试对阿姆哈拉州与奥罗米亚州15个沃雷达（woreda，埃塞俄比亚基层行政单位）的全部3015户基线注册家庭进行回访，访谈对象为家庭主要女性受访者，同时收集儿童人体测量学数据。本评估将对同一队列的指数儿童进行长期追踪，以评估适龄婴幼儿喂养（infant and young child feeding, IYCF）实践的依从性及儿童生长发育动态。最终成功完成2902户家庭的回访，家庭随访率达98%。
