FOREWORD The Government of Kenya’s commitment to provide for children out of family care is demonstrated by the various policies and legislative frameworks that have been developed in the recent years. All children are equal rights-holders and deserve to be within families and community as enshrined in the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and the Children Act 2001. The development of this training manual recognizes the role of the family and the community in the care of our children while the accompanying user friendly handbook aims to boost the skills and knowledge of case workers and practioners in the child protection sector. All efforts need to be made to support families to continue to care for their children and, if this is not possible, to place a child in a family-based alternative care arrangement, such as; kinship care, foster care, guardianship, Kafaalah, Supported Independent Living (SIL), or adoption.

  • The Long-Term Impacts of Youth Investments in Kenya on Economic Preferences Pre-Analysis Plan
    The Long-Term Impacts of Youth Investments in Kenya on Economic Preferences Pre-Analysis Plan AEA RCT Title: Experimental Evidence on Child Health and Long-run Outcomes in Kenya RCT ID: AEARCTR-0001191 Principal Investigators: Livia Alfonsi (University of California, Berkeley), Michal Bauer (CERGE-EI and Charles University), Julie Chytilová (Charles University and CERGE-EI), Edward Miguel (University of California, Berkeley), and Michael Walker (University of California, Berkeley) Date: July 11, 2019 Appendix: KLPS-4 I Module Survey Instrument 1 Summary: This document outlines the plan for analyzing the long-term impacts of a series of child and adolescent health, skills and financial investments on a set of fundamental economic preferences. Our primary analysis will study the 20-year impacts of a randomized school deworming program in western Kenya using data from the fourth round of the Kenya Life Panel Survey (KLPS-4). The deworming analysis builds on that of Baird et al. (2016), using different outcome variables. The fourth round of KLPS was launched in 2018 and is currently ongoing. KLPS-4 also serves as the 10-year follow-up of a vocational training voucher program, and the 5-year follow-up of a cash grant program, and we analyze the impacts of these programs as a secondary analysis. The analysis outlined here will be split into five groups of outcomes: (1) time preference, (2) decision- making under uncertainty, (3) pro-social behavior, (4) anti-social behavior, and (5) preference for truth- telling. To measure preferences, we use experimentally validated survey measures or incentivized tasks. This document lays out the main regression specifications and outcome variable definitions that are intended for use for the long-term impacts analysis of these five groups of outcomes.

  • Vocational Education Voucher Delivery and Labor Market Returns: a Randomized Evaluation Among Kenyan Youth
    Vocational Education Voucher Delivery and Labor Market Returns: A Randomized Evaluation Among Kenyan Youth Report for Spanish Impact Evaluation Fund (SIEF) Phase II Joan Hamory Hicks, Michael Kremer, Isaac Mbiti, and Edward Miguel April 2011 Abstract This report describes the ongoing Technical and Vocational Vouchers Program (TVVP) in Kenya and provides early results from the intervention. Implementation began in 2008 with the recruitment of approximately 2,160 out-of-school youths (ranging in age from roughly 18 to 30). Study participants were drawn from the Kenya Life Panel Survey, an unusual on-going panel dataset of detailed educational, health, and cognitive information for over 7,000 adolescents in western Kenya. Of the 2,160 youths that applied to the TVVP, a random half were awarded a voucher for vocational training, while the other half served as the control group. Of the voucher winners, a random half were awarded a voucher that could only be used in public (government) institutions, while the other half received a voucher that could be used in either private or public institutions. The project also included a cross-cutting information intervention, which exposed a randomly selected half of all treatment and control individuals to information about the actual returns to vocational education. This report focuses on program take-up, the demand for vocational training and the impacts of the information intervention on institution and course selection, participant attendance, the short-term impacts of training on labor market expectations and outcomes for a representative subset of program participants, and training center characteristics. The report also provides some suggestive evidence on the supply-side impacts of the program.
