abstract: 'Introduction: There is little evidence on the impact of livelihood
interventions amongst people with disabilities. Effective programmes are
critical for reducing the heightened risk of poverty and unemployment
facing persons with disabilities. STAR+ is a skills development and job
placement programme targeted to out-of-school youth with disabilities
(ages 14-35) living in poverty. It is a disability-targeted adaptation
to an existing, effective intervention (STAR), which has been designed
to address barriers to decent work for people with disabilities. This
protocol describes the design of a cluster randomised controlled trial
of STAR+ in 39 of the 64 districts of Bangladesh. Methods: BRAC has
identified 1500 youth with disabilities eligible for STAR+ across its 91
branch offices (typically a geographical areas covering about 8 km
radius from local BRAC office) catchment areas (clusters). BRAC has
limited funding to deliver STAR+ and so 45 of the 91 branches have been
randomly allocated to implement STAR+ (intervention arm). The remaining
46 branches will not deliver STAR+ at this time (control arm).
Participants in the control-arm will receive usual care, meaning they
are free to enrol in any other livelihood programmes run by BRAC or
other organisations including standard STAR (being run in 15 control
branches). The cRCT will assess the impact of STAR+ after 12 months on
employment status and earnings (primary outcomes), as well as poverty,
participation and quality of life (secondary outcomes). Analysis will be
through intention-to-treat, with a random mixed effect at cluster level
to account for the clustered design. Complementary qualitative research
with participants will be conducted to triangulate findings of the cRCT,
and a process evaluation will assess implementation fidelity, mechanisms
of impact and the role of contextual factors in shaping variations in
outcomes. Discussion: This trial will provide evidence on the impact of
a large-scale, disability-targeted intervention. Knowledge on the
effectiveness of programmes is critical for informing policy and
programming to address poverty and marginalisation amongst this group.
Currently, there is little robust data on the effectiveness of
livelihood programmes amongst people with disabilities, and so this
trial will fill an important evidence gap.'
