Armenia Farmer Training.
In Armenia, the MCC program’s goal is to reduce rural poverty through better economic performance in the agricultural sector by improving irrigation infrastructure and training farmers. To evaluate the impact of the farmer training in on-farm water management and high value agriculture, the Farming Practices Survey was developed. The baseline was completed by Jen Consult/AREG NGO in January 2008 with a sample of approximately 5,000 farming households in 350 communities across Armenia. The first follow-up survey was completed in 2009 and the final survey will be completed in 2011.

Burkina Faso Girls’ Education
In 2007-08, Mathematica Policy Research and the University of Ouagadougou conducted household and school surveys as part of MCC’s evaluation of the Burkina Faso Threshold Program, which sought to increase educational attainment through the construction of schools and complementary interventions. The surveys included 291 villages, of which 132 were participant villages and 159 comparison villages. The household questionnaire asked about household demographics, children’s educational outcomes (enrollment and attendance), and parents’ perceptions of education. The school survey asked about schools’ characteristics and children’s attendance and enrollment.

Tanzania Roads
MCC aims to reduce travel times and provide access to basic social services in Tanzania by rehabilitating a portfolio of trunk roads on the mainland and selected rural roads on Pemba Island. The evaluation will examine the project’s household- and community-level effects on the well‐being of the people and villages along the roads. Economic Development Initiatives conducted a survey of 3,000 households in 200 communities in 2009. Baseline data is available now, and future data will be posted as it becomes available.
