2 Women s Economic Self-Help Groups Female participants come together Receive Economic Intervention Collective Finance: Saving or Credit. Enterprise or Livelihoods Intervention: Business Training. 2
3 Summary Results Positive effects on women s economic, social, and political empowerment Poorest of the poor often do not participate No evidence for adverse effects on intimate partner violence No evidence for positive effects on psychological empowerment 3
4 Overview Presentation Evaluation Questions Theory of Change Systematic review: Methodology Quantitative Analysis Qualitative Analysis Synthesis Conclusion 4
5 Evaluation Questions 1. What is the impact of women s economic self-help groups on individual empowerment in low and middle-income countries? 2. What are the perspectives of female participants on factors determining their participation in, and benefits from, economic self-help groups? 5
6 Theory of Change 6
7 Measurement of empowerment? Economic: E.g. Women s bargaining power over financial decision-making, women s land ownership Social E.g. Freedom of movement, women s bargaining power over family size decision making. Political E.g. Political participation. Psychological E.g. Feelings of autonomy, confidence, self-sufficiency. 7
8 Systematic Review Systematic critical appraisal of literature Synthesis of literature (Waddington et al., 2012) Impact of self-help groups Perspectives of female self-help group members 8
9 Inclusion Randomized Controlled Trials, Quasi- Experimental Evaluations, and Multivariate Regression 9
10 Innovation: Inclusion Qualitative Studies Systematic reviews that only include quantitative evidence can be considered too rigid, failing to address other important questions, such as why an intervention does not work (Snilstveit, Oliver, & Vojtkova, 2012) In-Depth Interviews Ethnography Focus-Groups 10
11 Number of Included Studies 23 Quantitative Studies 11 Qualitative Studies 11
12 Risk of Bias Assessment Quantitative Selection bias 14% 24% 62% Performance bias 24% 10% 67% Low risk of bias Outcome and analysis reporting bias 29% 24% 48% Medium risk of bias High risk of bias Other biases 38% 38% 24% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 12
13 Risk of Bias Assessment Quantitative 1. Selection bias: It is not clear whether the randomization was successful. The randomization was based on a relatively small sample of 4 treatment and 4 control villages. The authors do not show a table demonstrating balance across observable and unobservable characteristics. 2. Performance bias: The new members and old members appear to be selected from the same locations, suggesting that bias resulting from spillovers is an important concern. 3. Outcome Reporting Bias: There are serious inconsistencies in the reporting. The results reported in the text do not match those reported in the tables. 4. Other biases: The study uses recall data over a 4 year recall period for the DID estimation component. This may result in bias. 13
14 Risk of Bias Assessment Qualitative Table 5.2 Summary of quality appraisal of included qualitative studies Screening Question: Is there a clear statement of study aims? 100% Screening Question: Is qualitative methodology appropriate? 100% Appropriate research deign 0% Appropriate recruitment strategy 89% 11% 0% Appropriate data collection method 89% Consideration of researcher-participant relationship 22% 44% Consideration of ethical issues 0% Rigorous data analysis 44% Clear statement of findings 100% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Yes Can't tell No 14
15 Risk of Bias Assessment Qualitative 1. Recruitment of participants: The authors did not explain how the participants were selected. 2. Data collection tools: The authors did not describe their interview guides and data format. 3. Data saturation: There was no mention of data saturation as reason for stopping for recruitment. 4. Researcher-participant relationship: The authors did not report information about the researcher-participant relationship. 5. Data-analysis: The authors did not describe the analysis of the data in sufficient detail. 15

20 Mechanisms: Qualitative Economic Empowerment Women report feeling empowered after handling financial transactions Social Empowerment Women reported feeling mutual support within their groups Intimate Partner Violence Initial increase in violence but eventually they gained respect from their husbands 20
21 Limited participation of the poorest Too financially constrained for participation Caste or class discrimination 21
22 Revised Theory of Change: Some Key Assumptions Introduction Women s Self-Help Group Women become members of self-help group No caste and class discrimination Husband and motherin-law approve participation Knowledge about and time for participation 22
23 Revised Theory of Change 23
24 Potential Moderators: Training Microfinance did not show positive effect on empowerment in other SR So is training the secret? What type of training? Health education? Entrepreneurial skills? Women s rights? 24
25 Key Lessons Self-Help - Groups Scaling of Self-Help have positive Groups depends effects on on cost-effectiveness and other outcome economic, measures. social, and political empowerment No evidence - Self-Help for adverse Groups may effects be improved on intimate by partner stimulating the poorest to participate. violence - The findings are applicable to South Asia Poorest of but the extrapolation poor do to not the often rest the participate world is in selfhelp group hard. programs 25
