Nicaraguan early childhood program evaluation process enters final phase
ESA Consultores will shortly begin the final phase of the $850,000 impact evaluation of the IADB-funded Nicaraguan early childhood development project, PAININ, which works with local NGOs and mothers to provide appropriate early childhood educational stimulation and learning-through-play. PAININ, which is run by Nicaragua's Ministry of the Family, also works to ensure full take-up of basic health protocols by the mother and child. ESA designed and implemented the baseline study for this program in 2003; and in 2004 we carried out an intermediate evaluation, with emphasis on institutional aspects of the program. The final impact evaluation study, programmed for mid 2005, will generate quantitative measures of the project's development outcomes. The study design is based on baseline and ex-post observations of key study variables at household level, in intervention and control groups, with a total sample of nearly 1,500 households in 44 communities.
