Impact of Graduating to Resilience on Child Development in Uganda

This study is an intervention trial that aims to estimate the impact of the Graduating to Resilience (G2R) program on child development in Uganda. In previous trials, the G2R program has generated large, positive impacts on household assets, consumption, income and food security. The investigators will revisit a sample of households enrolled in a G2R trial conducted in Uganda in 2019-2021 (AEARCTR-0004080) and assess children born during the intervention period.
