Project Descriptions:
CBEHPP
CBEHPP Enumerators will play a critical role in implementing an impact
evaluation of the Community Based Environmental Health Promotion Programme
(CBEHPP). This programme seeks to improve health through education and
community participation by training local community members to lead weekly
health club meetings. These meetings are designed to educate participants about
safe hygiene, sanitation, and other health behaviors. Innovations for Poverty
Action is currently preparing for the midline evaluation of this programme,
with midline data collection to begin in January 2015. This ongoing study of
9,000 households in 150 villages will generate evidence about the health and
economic impacts of health clubs on households, with a focus on the impact on
children age 5 and under. Our findings will help to inform the work of the
Ministry of Health and that of our implementing partner in their current and
future programs.

Teacher Incentives
Innovations for Poverty Action, in close collaboration with local
partners, will be evaluating the impact of various incentive schemes for
teachers in Rwanda. The Enumerators will play a critical role in
implementing these various schemes and in the data collection that will
follow. For this, the project will be working with 300 schools in the
country and will be collecting data from teachers and students. The
project will also be working closely with a sub-sample of these teachers to
provide professional development and performance-related feedback. After this,
the project will evaluate the impacts of these different interventions and
incentives on teacher performance, student testing and teacher recruitment, in
order to better understand how education outcomes throughout the country may be
improved.

strategic business decisions regarding their finances, operations and assisting
them in customer research. The Enumerators will play a critical role in
recruiting entrepreneurs to use this tool and in conducting the subsequent
evaluation of the tool’s impact on entrepreneurs’ work, growth and job
