ABSTRACT This paper examines the effect of an asset-based intervention on academic performance and school transition among orphaned and vulnerable children in Uganda. Participants were randomly assigned to either the control arm or two treatment arms receiving an asset-based intervention. Participants in the treatment arms scored better grades; and had higher odds of transitioning to post-primary education relative to the control arm. Programmes which target financial insecurity may have a positive impact on the educational achievement and progression of orphaned children. There is a need to consider incorporating asset-based interventions within the development of educational policy, especially in low-income countries.

评估基于资产的干预措施对孤儿和青少年教育成果的影响：乌干达随机实验的结果

摘要 本文探讨了基于资产的干预措施对乌干达孤儿和弱势儿童的学业成绩和学校过渡的影响。参与者被随机分配到对照组或接受基于资产干预的两个治疗组。治疗组的参与者得分更高；相对于对照组，过渡到小学后教育的几率更高。针对经济不安全问题的计划可能会对孤儿的教育成就和进步产生积极影响。有必要考虑将基于资产的干预措施纳入教育政策的制定中，特别是在低收入国家。
