abstract: 'This paper assesses the impact of an integrated skills training program
|
||||
|
||||
given to youth aged 17-25-year old living under the \$2/day poverty line
|
||||
|
||||
in the cocoa belt region of Ghana. Despite being a leading producer of
|
||||
|
||||
cocoa and having a burgeoning youth population, it is estimated that the
|
||||
|
||||
average age of a cocoa farmer in Ghana is greater than 50 years. To
|
||||
|
||||
introduce young people to cocoa farming and address the potential
|
||||
|
||||
barriers they face in order to do that; a multi-faceted skills training
|
||||
|
||||
programme was designed with the ultimate aim of improving and
|
||||
|
||||
diversifying youth livelihoods. The training had three key components:
|
||||
|
||||
i) cocoa academies (which includes agricultural practices; life skills
|
||||
|
||||
and financial literacy); ii) business incubators (including
|
||||
|
||||
entrepreneurial training, networks, mentoring) and iii) supporting
|
||||
|
||||
enabling environment (access to land and finance). Combining
|
||||
|
||||
quasi-experimental methods Propensity Score Matching with Difference in
|
||||
|
||||
Differences, we estimate the causal effect of the programme on
|
||||
|
||||
agricultural outcomes (farming, agricultural practices), financial
|
||||
|
||||
behaviour outcomes (saving practices, mobile banking) and livelihood
|
||||
|
||||
outcomes (employment, income, poverty likelihood) one year after the
|
||||
|
||||
completion of training. The results of the impact evaluation suggest
|
||||
|
||||
that compared to the control group (youth nonparticipants), youths who
|
||||
|
||||
participated in the training adopt better agricultural practices (26
|
||||
|
||||
percentage points (pp)), cultivate cocoa (24 pp), and are more likely to
|
||||
|
||||
engage in farming (22 pp). We also find a 28.7\% increase in income in
|
||||
|
||||
the last seven days and hours worked by 12.4\%. Youth also increase the
|
||||
|
||||
use of banks for saving (16 pp), save using mobile money (6.7 pp), the
|
||||
|
||||
use of Village Savings and Loan Associations (1.7 pp) and, in general,
|
||||
|
||||
the use of mobile money for both sending and receiving transfers (10.6
|
||||
|
||||
pp). The sex-disaggregated sub-sample analysis provides other valuable
|
||||
|
||||
insights on the intervention.(c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.'
