SWE-2012-109: Public Policy, Health Education and Female Empowerment in Uganda and Tanzania

Public Policy, Health Education and Female Empowerment in Uganda and Tanzania. The objective of this project is to investigate causal effects of public and non-governmental health interventions on family planning and female empowerment in East Africa. Two specific but related research questions will be analyzed in the project. First, we aim at investigating how nutritional supplements in early childhood affect female empowerment later in life through improved educational attainment in Tanzania. Second, we will analyze how family planning education transmitted through religious radio broadcasts affects female empowerment and sexual behavior in Uganda. Both research questions will use novel data from the Measure DHS surveys, and use statistical methods that focus on estimating causal effects of the interventions.
