Evaluation of VillageFXB programs in Burundi

In 2018, an independent Burundian consultant conducted a retrospective evaluation of 8 VillageFXB programs run in Burundi between 2006 and 2017. The 800 beneficiary households were divided into three analysis groups, according to the time elapsed between the evaluation period and the end of the households' participation in the programs. This evaluation, carried out between 1 and 12 years after the end of the programs, showed that 74% of households could easily find food on a regular basis, 83% of households had access to an improved sanitation facility, between 44 and 56% of households were saving on a regular basis, and average monthly incomes were higher than the regional average.
