Building State Capacity and National Unity with Market Design 2019

The Problem of Assignment in Kenya’s G-United Program

The 2020 school and community data collection also included interviews with community
members (head-teachers and homestay hosts) where VGAs served, regarding their experience with the program and national-unity-related beliefs. In comparison communities, these homestay families were prospective homestay families. These surveys collected data on the respondent’s level of local and generalized trust, degree of identification with their ethnic group, demographic characteristics, and interactions with the volunteer.

Among pupils at schools where volunteers did or would have been assigned, we
administered a second round (ENDLINE) of literacy tests in Feb-March 2020, in both English and Kiswahili, and surveys to measure students’ feelings towards others.

In January 2019, at the start of the 2019-20 school academic year, a baseline assessment of literacy outcomes (in English and Kiswahili) for students in grades 2 and 3 was conducted in the 1,626 schools in our sample. We also collected data on student professional and educational aspirations, as well as on school-level characteristics. To the extent possible, we sampled eight students in each school, stratified by grade and by gender. This means that, in each school and in each grade, we attempted to survey two boys and two girls.

Follow-up surveys for all applicants about where they were living, their employment, and
their beliefs on a range of questions dealing with national unity. The last two rounds (Aug and Nov 2020) also included questions related to impact of Covid-19 on employment, hygiene, financial situation etc.
