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.

The LSB curriculum is offered to either women who receive BISP-CT, or to women who receive BISP-CT and their husbands.
