Congo, Rep. - Skills Development Project for Employability (2015-2018)

The project provides vocational training to young men & women in Brazzaville & Pointe Noire. The World Bank Africa Gender Innovation Lab (GIL) is conducting an impact evaluation of one of its sub-component, in which beneficiaries enroll in a 6-month technical training course, followed by a 3-month internship, and a job search support program.  The 2015 Congo Republic Skills Development Project for Employability (PDCE), Cohort 1 (Baseline) survey covered the following topics: identification; respondent’s situation; education; employment; activities; entrepreneurship; productive equipment; professional project; past activities; saving; credit; transfers; spending; household assets; household members list; familial background; cognitive abilities; aspirations; gender & entrepreneurship; non-cognitive abilities; agency; and program application.

The baseline data of this second cohort will be used to understand the variations of relevant indicators between baseline and endline of the second cohort. This baseline comes after the midline of the first cohort which gave some interesting results about the project. This baseline aims to provide better understanding of the first cohort findings and address additional research questions through a higher sample size and adequate design of the evaluation.
