The problem
Intervention: Allocation of Village Fund money to health, used for stunting reduction programmes
Who it was tested with: Villages in Lamongan Regency, Indonesia, using village-level data for 2023-2024.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"applies Propensity Score Matching (PSM) and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS)" - this is a matched comparison of treated and non-treated villages, so it counts as a quasi-experimental design with a comparison group, though the evidence is modest and not fully consistent across methods.
Observational village-level data over a short period (2023-2024). Matching can only account for measured characteristics. The effect is small and the regression evidence is only marginal. Details are limited to the abstract.
