World Vision International is a global humanitarian organization dedicated to tackling poverty and injustice around the world. As part of its Livelihood Development Program, World Vision has formulated an eight-year economic empowerment business plan called “Transforming Household Resilience in Vulnerable Environments (THRIVE 2030)’’ to build resilient and sustainable livelihoods and enable parents and caregivers to adequately support their children by 2030. The initiative is implemented in 11 countries throughout Africa, Latin America, and Asia, including Vietnam.
Before implementing THRIVE 2030 activities, World Vision aimed to conduct a baseline evaluation to create a baseline for analyzing change and the intervention’s impact over time. This assessment was led by the Abt Global, LLC. Its local partner, MDRI, was assigned to conduct data collection in Vietnam. This assessment gathered data on THRIVE indicators to establish the pre-intervention state of the THRIVE project’s performance and outcome indicators at the household level. The secondary goal was to analyze the target population’s access to important livelihood services. Third, the assessment was expected to identify local contextual and social elements that would be likely to influence the effective implementation of the treatments as planned.
