Cluster randomized controlled trial evaluating the impact on children's linear growth of an unconditional cash transfer program implemented in rural areas of North Togo

A parallel cluster randomized controlled trial was implemented in North Togo. 162 rural landlocked villages were randomized into either an intervention arm (cash transfers + package of community activities, n=82) or a control arm (package of community activities only, n=80).  

Two different representative samples of children aged 6-29 months and their mothers were surveyed, one before the intervention (2014, n=2,658), the other two years afterwards (2016, n=2,031).
