Description In 2014 the Government of Mali began implementing its “Filets Sociaux (Jigisémèjiri)” program that aims at reducing poverty and improving human capital accumulation through targeted cash transfers, accompanying measures (or trainings), and preventive nutrition packages. In order to rigorously and independently assess the impacts of the program, the Government of Mali collaborated with research partners, International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and Institut de recherché pour le développement (IRD), to undertake an impact evaluation. The impact evaluation assesses how the “Jigisémèjiri” program impacts household welfare, and, in particular, household food consumption, food security, and dietary diversity, in addition to child nutrition and development. The impact evaluation is designed as a two-stage randomized control trial in which 96 communes were randomly assigned to begin receiving the program in 2014 or 2015 (early treatment) or in 2016 or 2017 (late treatment). Within a subset of the early treatment communes deemed eligible for nutrition packages, villages were randomly assigned to receive the nutrition packages or not receive them.



This dataset is from the baseline survey conducted from September 2014–February 2015, before the start of the program across 5 regions of Mali. The baseline sample was designed to be representative of Jigisemejiri beneficiaries with a child 6-23 months old. In total, 3,175 households across the 96 communes were planned to be sampled at baseline. Due to security concerns, 6 communes in Mopti were not sampled, leading to 3,080 households across 90 communes that were actually sampled in the baseline data.
