AssetsAfrica

AssetsAfrica, implemented from 2004 to 2008, was a demonstration and research initiative designed to test asset building innovations and their impact on household asset accumulation and well-being in rural Africa. The goal was to help build a knowledge base to inform future programs and policies to promote savings and accumulation of productive assets in sub-Saharan Africa. The project was implemented in Masindi District, Uganda. AssetsAfrica included a sample of 445 households in 57 communities from 2 sub-counties. AssetsAfrica was conducted by researchers at the Global Social Development Innovations, in partnership with the Center for Social Development at Washington University in St. Louis and Build Africa Uganda.
