Data from the paper 'Social and Economic Impacts of Tuungane: Final Report on the Effects of a Community Driven Reconstruction Program in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo' by Macartan Humphreys, Raul Sanchez de la Sierra, and Peter van der Windt. The dataset is associated with a study on community governance funded by the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation's Open Window Round 2. It likely contains survey or administrative data measuring the effects of the Tuungane development program.
Use Cases
- Evaluating the causal impact of community-driven reconstruction programs based on the study's experimental or quasi-experimental design.
- Modeling relationships between governance interventions and socioeconomic outcomes suggested by the report's focus.
- Training models for policy impact prediction in development economics using features related to community governance.
- Conducting secondary analysis on the effectiveness of international aid programs in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Strengths
- Data is directly linked to a formal academic paper with named authors, providing a research context.
- The study was funded under a specific evaluation initiative (International Initiative for Impact Evaluation's Open Window Round 2).
- Focus on a specific, named program (Tuungane) in a defined geographic region (Eastern DRC).
