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

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>

<i>埃塞俄比亚2014年生计与可持续市场项目评估家庭调查（Household Survey for Evaluation of Livelihoods and Sustainable Markets Project in Ethiopia, 2014）</i>数据由英国乐施会（Oxfam GB）作为其全球绩效框架（Global Performance Framework）的一部分采集。根据该框架要求，每年会随机选取少量已完工或成熟的项目开展影响评估，即有效性评估（Effectiveness Review）。本次数据集即用于评估2009年9月至2012年3月实施的"埃塞俄比亚咖啡价值链：联结小农户与可持续可规模化商业模式"项目的影响。

该项目的总体目标是通过将咖啡种植户与初级咖啡合作社及联合社对接，推动咖啡生产与销售水平提升。项目覆盖3个行政区，当地初级咖啡合作社直接向农户收购咖啡，并将咖啡运送至合作联合社。该联合社为农户提供种子、修枝剪与铁丝网，并协助农户开展育苗工作。此外，项目还为农户及联合社理事会人员开展了一系列培训课程。本次评估采用准实验方法（quasi-experimental approach），将接受项目支持的农户与未接受支持、但通过本次调查的回忆式问题匹配得到的基线（baseline）特征相近的邻近社区农户进行对比。最终从12个次级行政区中选取215户项目受益家庭与432户对照家庭参与调查。

<i>匿名化处理（Anonymisation）</i>：
已移除受访者姓名，同时移除社区名称并替换为随机生成的编码。为避免出现可识别受访者的唯一特征，对以下变量进行了重编码处理：家庭规模（上限设为11人）、年龄（按5年间隔分组）、族裔（合并类别）、户主主要职业（合并类别）以及房屋地板材质（合并类别）。
