The SPII, a not-for profit organisation (NPO) based in Johannesburg, South Africa, undertook a 24-month pilot programme which sought to link the child support grant (CSG) and Local Economic Development (LED) by targeting small, micro and survivalist enterprises in the informal economy that have a recipient of the CSG within the household. The project was implemented as a randomised controlled trial. Using specific outcome indicators, CESAR analysed the randomised controlled experiment to determine the impact of the intervention.
