title: Livelihoods in Colombia: Evaluation of Market Access and Food Security in the Central Region; Effectiveness Review Series 2013/14

description: The &lt;I&gt;Household Survey for Evaluation of Market Access and Food Security Project in Colombia, 2014&lt;/I&gt; 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. These data were used to evaluate the impact of the 'Market Access and Food Security in the Central Region of Colombia' project, which began in the surveyed regions between 2007 and 2009. Four local partner organisations began the project as an initiative to increase market access and income among smallholder producers in the Central Region of Colombia. In 2007, the project launched regularly organised farmers' markets in Bogota, which are attended by rural producers from municipalities around the Central Region. Around half of the participants are women. At the municipal level, project partners formed local organisations (comites de comercializacion de mercados campesinos) to promote the farmers' markets among producers in their area. A 'mayorista' marketing channel was also established under the project, where produce is sold in wholesale markets and directly to retailers in Bogota. One key aim of the project is to enable producers to realize higher prices when selling their products, by establishing 'fair prices' for and training in marketing and negotiating skills. Another objective of the project was to encourage awareness among rural producers of political issues affecting their lives, and to provide a means for participation in advocacy and collective action. Data collection for the project evaluation took place in 2014, in 13 municipalities, with a total of 157 participant households. 330 households served as a control. The evaluation adopted a quasi-experimental approach, using recall data from 2007 to ensure a matched baseline between participant and non-participant groups.&lt;br&gt;

title: Livelihoods in Ethiopia: Impact Evaluation of Linking Smallholder Coffee Producers to Sustainable Markets; Effectiveness Review Series 2014/15

description: The &lt;I&gt;Household Survey for Evaluation of Livelihoods and Sustainable Markets Project in Ethiopia, 2014&lt;/I&gt; 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. These data were used to evaluate the impact of the 'Coffee Value Chain: Linking Smallholders to a Sustainable and Scalable Business Model in Ethiopia' project which took place between September 2009 and March 2012. The project's overall objective was to contribute to improved coffee production and sales by linking coffee farmers to primary coffee cooperatives and unions. The project covered three districts where primary coffee cooperatives bought coffee directly from farmers and delivered the coffee to a cooperative union. The union supplied seeds, slashers and wire mesh and supported the farmers in seedling production. The project also included a series of training sessions for farmers and the union board. The evaluation adopted a quasi-experimental approach which involved comparing households that had been supported by the project with households in neighbouring communities that had not been supported by the project, but had similar characteristics at baseline according to the survey's recall questions. In total, 215 project beneficiary households and 432 comparison households were selected from to be surveyed from 12 sub-districts.&lt;br&gt;

title: Supporting Rural Community Banks in Western Honduras: Project Effectiveness Review; Effectiveness Review Series 2012/13

description: The &lt;I&gt;Household Survey for Evaluation of a Project Supporting Rural Community Banks in Western Honduras, 2012&lt;/I&gt; 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. These data were used to evaluate the impact of the 'Linking APROALCE to Local and International Markets' project, which began in 1999. After Hurricane Mitch caused severe destruction in the area, Oxfam and a partner organization established four community banks with the aim of improving livelihoods for smallholders in nearby communities. In 2006, the producer association APROALCE was established from the membership of these banks. APROALCE expanded to purchase from producers over a wide geographic area, selling on to national supermarket chains. From 2008 to 2011, the partners provided a line of credit to the banks that specifically required them to lend to women. A household questionnaire was implemented with members of the four community banks, and with a sample of households from communities in a municipality neighbouring the project area. A total of 244 households were interviewed from the control communities, and 109 from the intervention communities. Quasi-experimental methods were used to evaluate the impact of the project by matching project beneficiaries with non-beneficiaries on a range of characteristics. &lt;br&gt;

title: Livelihoods in Honduras: Evaluation of 'Strengthening Small-Scale Farmers' Agribusiness Capabilities' Project; Effectiveness Review Series 2013/14

description: The &lt;I&gt;Household Survey for Evaluation of a Project Strengthening Small Farmers' Agribusiness Capabilities in Western Honduras, 2014&lt;/I&gt; 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. The data were used to evaluate the impact of the "Strengthening small-scale farmers' agribusiness capabilities in Western Honduras" project, which took place between 2010 and 2014. The project aimed to strengthen the socio-productive process of sustainable development by promoting competitive economic initiatives in six municipalities in the Coban department. The intervention involved supporting home gardens, integrated farms, and access to markets with high-value crops. In addition, the project supported the organisation and strengthening of rural banks to increase access to credit. Data collection for the evaluation took place in March 2014. A household survey was carried out with 155 households currently involved in the project (Group A) and with 288 comparison households never involved in any Oxfam project (Group C). In addition to this, a sample of 148 households was interviewed from those households that participated in previous similar Oxfam projects between 2007 and 2010 but was not currently involved in any Oxfam project (Group B). The evaluation employed a quasi-experimental approach to analyse the difference in outcomes, using demographic variables and recall data from 2007 to control for differences between groups.&lt;br&gt;

title: Women's Access to Justice in the Middle East and North Africa Region

description: The &lt;I&gt;Household Survey for Evaluation of Lebanon Women's Empowerment Project, 2014&lt;/I&gt; 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. The data were used to evaluate the impact of the "Women's Access to Justice in the MENA Region" project, which took place in Lebanon between January 2013 and July 2014. The project aimed to improve the status and lives of women and girls in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, by enhancing the quality of legal services for poor and vulnerable women. The project was implemented on four levels of intervention: individual, community, institutional, and policy. At the individual level, participants engaged in awareness-raising sessions to share knowledge on women's rights, and the project provided lawyers free of charge. At the community level, the project identified community leaders as actors of change, who also received training and participated in awareness-raising sessions. Institutionally, the project worked with lawyers and courts to create a better environment for women to access the judicial system. The data collection took place during December 2014 in four regions: the El Metn region, where communities had been involved in the project, and three other communities which served as the control for the evaluation. Oxfam employed a quasi-experimental approach for the evaluation, matching participants of the program with women from the control communities who were similar in a range of characteristics. In total, data were collected from 675, of which 225 had participated in the project.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;I&gt;Anonymisation&lt;/I&gt;:&lt;br&gt; The following variables have been recoded so as to prevent unique cases that may allow identification of the respondents: household size (capped at 8), marital status (combined categories), age of household members (grouped by 5-year intervals), and size of house (capped at '8+ rooms'). Few data points specifying a respondent's religion have been removed to prevent unique cases. Data concerning a respondent's experience with gender-based violence have been removed, as these data are particularly sensitive.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

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. These data were collected by Oxfam to evaluate the project 'Empowering Small Producers, especially Women, in the Dairy Sector', which was implemented in the Muzaffargarh district of Pakistan between 2011 and 2014 by Oxfam and another partner organisation. The overall objective of the project was to improve livelihoods and opportunities, increasing income and employment, as well as raising women's empowerment by improving their economic leadership in the dairy sector. The project activities included the formation of one enterprise in the dairy sector and the establishment of ten collection centres where farmers could sell their milk. Activities also included the formation of ten community groups that provided training on milk production, animal health and the dairy market. Half of the direct project participants and half of the members in the enterprise board were women. The review adopted a quasi-experimental impact evaluation design aimed at comparing women that had been supported by the project with women in neighbouring communities that had similar characteristics in 2010. A household survey was carried out in December 2014 with 300 women participants and 500 comparison women.&lt;br&gt;

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.&lt;br&gt;

description: The &lt;I&gt;Household Survey for Evaluation of Rwanda Women’s Empowerment Project, 2013&lt;/I&gt; 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 'Women's Economic Leadership through Horticulture Material-Planting Business' project in Rwanda, which was implemented in four districts of Rwanda between August 2011 and March 2014 by Oxfam and a local partner. The project aimed to strengthen women's capacity for engaging in the production of pineapple planting material, and thereby to enhance women’s socio-economic status at household and community level. Among the key project activities was the provision of training and mentorship in improved agricultural planting-material techniques and business development. Women were also trained in cross-cutting issues, such as HIV/AIDS and gender promotion. In addition to these activities, the project aimed to improve women farmers' access to credit through microfinance. The data collection for the evaluation took place in March 2014 in two of the participating districts. All 216 women who participated in the project in these districts were targeted for the survey, though 188 were actually located and interviewed. For comparison purposes, 415 women were selected at random from nearby villages where the project had not been implemented. The evaluation adopted a quasi-experimental approach to compare between participant and comparison women, to assess the impact of the project on women’s empowerment.&lt;br&gt;

title: European Union Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Survey, 2012: Special Licence Access
title: EU LGBT

description: The EU Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Survey (EU LGBT) was conducted by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA). It is the first ever EU-wide online survey to establish an overview concerning the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people (18 years or older) and their experiences with regard to fundamental rights in the 28 EU Member States. Up until now, there has been very little comparable data collected across the EU about the everyday experiences of LGBT people with respect to discrimination, and lot of the available information is limited to occasional news reports and court judgements. As the first EU-wide survey of its kind, the results support the development of equal treatment policies for LGBT people in the European Union and set the agenda for years to come. Based on the survey results, national and European policy makers, as well as non-governmental organisations, are able to better target their advocacy strategies and activities to support LGBT communities to live and express themselves freely in a non-discriminatory environment. The survey was completely anonymous (no additional data on the participants and their sessions were logged in any way). The survey data collection operated by Gallup Europe, a professional survey and consultancy firm. In order to ensure that the survey delivers evidence needed for policy making, the EU LGBT Survey counted on the participation of a large and diverse group of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people from each country. Hence, it was vitally important for the success of the survey that FRA and Gallup worked together with civil society organisations to reach a wide audience and raise awareness concerning the survey, including participants emailing the survey, sharing it through social media or simply inviting LGBT friends to take part.&lt;br&gt;
