The impact evaluation study of the MCA-M PRP will be the first fully randomized evaluation of a large-scale land titling program.

Khesegs were chosen as the unit of randomization for the study because they are a well-defined unit that is small and numerous enough to allow for sufficient statistical power. The baseline estimation strategy will be a differences-in-differences approach, where we compare the outcomes...
