Cash transfers have shown promise in preventing intimate partner violence, and in reducing recipients' stress levels. Cash transfers with behavioral or psychological interventions have shown limited effectiveness at reducing stress in some African countries. Little is known of the cost-effectiveness of interventions delivered alongside cash transfer programs. The MEWE economic evaluation sub-study (MEWE-EE) runs alongside MEWE, a three-arm cluster-randomized controlled trial in Sindh, Pakistan. MEWE-EE will assess the costs and cost-effectiveness of delivering a cash-transfer program (BISP-CT) combined with a life-skills building curriculum (LSB curriculum), compared to the BISP-CT alone. The LSB curriculum is offered to either women who receive BISP-CT, or to women who receive BISP-CT and their husbands.
