The parenting pilot was designed to achieve sustainable changes in parenting practices that can improve children's early development. Community educators are trained to give workshops and make in-house visits targeted to parents of children from newborn through age six. The Atención a Crisis Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) pilot provides funds and scholarships to communities depending on children's primary school and health service attendance. This impact evaluation study aims to answer the following research questions: - What is the impact of the Early Childhood Development (ECD) parenting pilot on ECD outcomes of children between 0 and 6 years old? The evaluation focused on such outcome indicators as cognitive development, socio-emotional development, physical health and growth, fine and gross motor skills, and parenting practices. - Is there a difference in the impact on ECD outcomes between the intervention modality targeting mothers and the intervention modality targeting both parents? - Are there complementarities in terms of improved ECD outcomes of children between 0 and 6 years old between the ECD intervention and the behavioral and income changes generated by the CCT pilot? The Atención a Crisis parenting pilot was launched in September 2009. The Atención a Crisis Conditional Cash Transfer pilot was implemented between November 2005 and December 2006. The dataset documented here contains information from the baseline assessment for the parenting pilot, conducted between August 2008 and May 2009. Nicaragua - Parents, - Children, - Households.

Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Rurales y Urbanos de Nicaragua Randomization allows rigorous impact evaluation of various modalities and combinations of the parenting and Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) pilots. The allocation of the CCT pilots was randomized in two stages. First, randomization was performed within groups of neighboring communities: 56 communities were assignment to the intervention, 50 to the control group. Second, eligible households within treatment communities were randomly allocated one of three benefit packages. Sample sizes were established after conducting careful power calculations. A rigorous experimental evaluation design is also built in the parenting pilots. The allocation of the parenting pilot was randomized at the community level. Out of the 106 communities, 44 communities were randomly chosen to participate in the parenting intervention and 62 to serve as control. Treatment communities were randomly assigned one of two intervention modalities (22 communities receiving each modality). The two modalities are randomized orthogonally on the randomized design of Atención a Crisis CCT pilot. Detailed power calculations were undertaken to determine required sample sizes and extreme care was placed in tracking migrant children. The actual samples contain 44 communities in the treatment group for a total of 1,447 households with children between 0 and 83 months in treatment communities (741 households assigned to modality 1 of the intervention, 706 households assigned to modality 2) and 1,770 households in control communities. Face-to-face [f2f] Since the launch of Atención a Crisis Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) pilot in 2005, three surveys (all containing instruments to measure early childhood development outcomes) have been collected. The third data round (collected in 2008-2009) serves as a baseline for the evaluation of the parenting pilot. The pilot itself started in September 2009. The team will use World Bank SIEF funding to cover costs associated with the fourth survey (a first follow-up round for the evaluation early childhood development (ECD) intervention and third follow-up for the evaluation of the impact of the CCT pilot on ECD outcomes). Data collection is planned for July 2011- March 2012. Upon entry in each sample community, the survey firm will start by updating existing community censuses. Comprehensive test data will be collected to measure ECD outcomes for children aged between 0 and 6 in the last data round as well as children born since then. In addition, complementary household (caregiver) surveys will be collected. These surveys will not constitute full-scale LSMS surveys (as in earlier rounds), but rather will focus on measuring parents and caregivers' practices and behaviors.
