Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.

The Household Survey for Evaluation of Livelihoods Project in Mindanao, 2015 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. This data was used to evaluate the impact of the 'Scaling up sustainable livelihoods in Mindanao' project, which took place in three provinces in the Philippines between 2011 and 2013. The project aimed to widen livelihood options in small-scale agriculture for rural women and men in order to achieve food security and sustainable incomes. Another key objective of the project was to influence the local and national governance environment towards pro-poor economic development. The project also worked towards increasing women’s leadership among the project participants. Project activities included providing technical planting material, training and support, and advocacy in local institutions. Data collection took place during February 2015, during which, Oxfam conducted household interviews with 300 project beneficiaries and 500 households which served as a control. The evaluation adopted a quasi-experimental approach, in which beneficiary and non-beneficiary respondents were matched on a variety of demographic characteristics and responses to recall questions relating to project baseline in 2007. Anonymisation: Respondent names have been removed. The following variables have been recoded so as to prevent unique cases that may allow identification of the respondents: household size (capped at 12 members), age (binned in 5-year intervals), ethnicity (dropped categories with too few observations) and marital status (combined categories).

Main Topics:

Small-scale farmers and food security; sustainable livelihoods; government and policy advocacy.

Simple random sample

One-stage stratified or systematic random sample

Beneficiary respondents were chosen through a stratified random sampling process proportional to partner’s budget allocation. Comparison respondents were randomly sampled from a purposive list of villages most closely resembling those of beneficiary respondents.
