    Effects of Skills Training on Employment and Livelihood Outcomes: A Randomized Controlled Trial with Young Women in Ghana

    How does skills training impact the livelihood and employment situation of participants, and how accurate are implementers’ beliefs about program effectiveness? This study of a “best-case” training program in fashion for young women in Ghana finds gaps between realised and expected impacts.

    Investigating Supply & Demand Side Factors of a Massive Covid-19 Vaccination Drive: Experimental Evidence from Indonesia

    Indonesia is fighting one of the worst coronavirus outbreaks in Asia. On January 13, 2021, the country started one of the world’s biggest COVID-19 vaccination drives. The plan is to inoculate 181.5 million people – two third of the population – in 15 months using primarily the CoronaVac from China’s Sinovac Biotech. The vaccination campaign is ambitious and its success hinges on a number of supply and demand side factors which are subject to investigation in this project.
