Integrated Survey (non-LSMS) [hh/is]
The PNPM Generai Impact Evaluation project was carried out in three waves. The baseline survey took place from June 2007 to August 2007. The second wave was conducted from October 2008 to January 2009, after 15 to 18 months of Generasi implementation. The third and final evaluation survey was implemented from October 2009 to January 2010 after 27 to 30 months of project implementation.
Over 45,000 household members, village heads, and school and health facility staff were respondents for the third and final round of survey.
The Generasi project focuses on the following indicators of maternal and child health and educational behavior:
Health Indicators
- Four prenatal care visits
- Taking iron tablets during pregnancy
- Delivery assisted by a trained professional
- Two postnatal care visits
- Complete childhood immunizations
- Adequate monthly weight increases for infants
- Monthly weighing for children under three and biannually for children under five
- Vitamin A twice a year for children under five
Education Indicators
9. Primary school enrollment of children 6-to-12 years old
10. Minimum attendance rate of 85 percent for primary school-aged children
11. Junior secondary school enrollment of children 13-to-15 years old
12. Minimum attendance rate of 85 percent for junior secondary school-aged children.
PNPM Generasi known as the National Community Empowerment Program - Healthy and Smart Generation (Program National Pemberdayaan Masyarakat-Generasi Sehat dan Cerdas) began in mid-2007 in rural areas of five Indonesian provinces selected by the government: West Java, East Java, North Sulawesi, Gorontalo, and Nusa Tenggara Timur. The Generasi project is implemented by Indonesia’s Ministry of Home Affairs, and is funded through government of Indonesia resources, loans from the World Bank and grants from several bilateral donors.
In Generasi, all participating villages receive a block grant each year to improve education, and maternal and child health in their villages. The village block grants ranged from an average of $8,500 in 2007 up to an average of $18,200 in 2009.
In order to evaluate the overall impact of Generasi, as well as to separately identify the impact of Generasi's performance incentives, program locations were selected by lottery to form a randomized, controlled field experiment. Each location was randomly allocated to one of two versions of the program: an "incentivized" treatment with the pay-for-performance component (treatment A) and an otherwise identical "non-incentivized" treatment without the pay-for-performance incentives (treatment B).
The impact evaluation project was conducted from 2007 until 2010, in three waves. Documented here is the second round, carried out from October 2008 to January 2009.
The sample for the research covered each of the 300 subdistricts that were included in the original Generasi randomization. In each subdistrict, eight villages were randomly selected (unless the subdistrict had fewer than eight villages, in which case all were selected). Overall, 2,313 villages were sampled in each of the three survey waves.
The data for the impact analysis was gathered from surveys of households, mothers, health service providers, and school and village officials.

Sampling
In order to evaluate the overall impact of Generasi, as well as to separately identify the impact of Generasi's performance incentives, Generasi locations were selected by lottery to form a randomized, controlled field experiment.
The Generasi randomization was conducted at the subdistrict (kecamatan) level, so that all villages within the subdistrict either received the same treatment of Generasi (treatment A or treatment B) or were in the control group. Randomizing at the subdistrict level is important since many health and education services, such as community health centers (puskesmas) and junior secondary schools, provide services to multiple villages within a subdistrict.
The Generasi locations were selected through the following procedure. First, 300 target subdistricts were identified, targeting poor, rural areas that had an existing community-driven development infrastructure.
Each subdistrict was then randomly assigned by computer into one of three equal-sized groups: treatment A, incentivized (100 subdistricts); treatment B, non-incentivized (100 subdistricts); or control (100 subdistricts). Within a subdistrict, all villages received the same treatment. The randomization was stratified by district (kabupaten), to ensure a balanced randomization across the 20 different districts in the study.
The sampling design for the household component of the Generasi surveys was chosen to ensure adequate coverage in the key Generasi demographic groups: mothers who recently were pregnant or gave birth, children under age three, and children of school age. Within each village, one hamlet (dusun) was randomly selected, and a list of all households was obtained from the head of the hamlet. Five households were randomly sampled from that list to be interviewed. These households were stratified so that two selected households had at least one child under age two, two selected households had a child under age 15 but no children under age two, and one household had no children under age 15.
