Description
This study evaluates a women-focused livelihood support project in climate-affected regions of South-western Bangladesh, in Khulna and Satkhira districts. The evaluation, involving 3,120 households with women beneficiaries, exploits a randomized control trial to measure a project's impact on household income, food security, and resilience to climate change. Key findings include a significant increase in household income, improved food security, and enhanced preparedness for climate events. However, the project showed limited effects on women's decision-making power within households. These insights are vital for understanding the effectiveness of livelihood support in empowering women in vulnerable settings, highlighting both achievements and areas for future improvement.
