This study is a quasi-experimental impact evaluation of the Family Package Programme in Cambodia. The programme is targeted to poor and vulnerable households with at least one of the eligible demographics in the household: a pregnant woman or children aged 0-2 years; a child enrolled in primary or secondary school up to grade twelve; a person certified as living with a disability; a person above the age of 60 years; or a person living with HIV and AIDS. The Family Package is implemented nationwide with the objective to protect vulnerable households from poverty; accelerate human capital accumulation; and promote inclusive growth, leaving no one behind. Beneficiaries of the Family Package will receive 34,000 Riel per month (USD 8.30), with additional transfers based on the demographic eligibility and adherence to programme conditions. Key outcome domains for the impact evaluation include poverty, household consumption, food security, household resilience to shocks, health and nutrition, education and quality of life. The study will be conducted with two waves of data collection with 24 months between waves, starting in May 2024. The study sample will be selected with the use of a discontinuity design, selecting households in a close range around the programme eligibility cut-off using the government’s IDPoor assessment system. Difference-in-differences analysis will be used to estimate impacts using baseline and endline surveys.
