Notes: The table presents Ordinary Least Squares estimates of the effects of delivering the maternal cashtransfer program through government health workers (GOV) compared to an NGO on measures ofperformance. The sample includes the matched villages: 22 from GOV and 22 from NGO. Outcomes includethe proportion of children stunted as children with Height for Age Z score (HAZ) < -2 (1); the proportion ofchildren moderately stunted as children with HAZ < -2 and >= -3 (2); the proportion of children severelystunted as children with HAZ < -3 (3); and, HAZ (4). Controls include (i) individual demographic controls,including child’s sex and age, mother’s age and education, and head of household’s age and education; (ii)village-level controls, including distance to large and small markets, main source of livelihood (agriculture,livestock, or casual labor), availability of government provided electricity, and participation in a concurrentWASH intervention. Standard errors are clustered at the cluster level. Wild bootstrapped (9999 reps) P-values are presented to take into account the small number of clusters. ***P <0.01, **P <0.05, *P <0.1.
