Kaveri Pharma Ltd. funded a girls' scholarship programme. A study finds that school completion rose in the area, but completion also rose by a similar amount in a comparable village without the programme. What does this finding imply about the programme's impact?

Little of the improvement can be attributed to the programme. A comparison village shows the likely result without the intervention, and since completion rose similarly there, the change cannot be credited mainly to the scholarship programme.

  1. ALittle of the improvement can be attributed to the programmeCorrect
  2. BThe programme's impact is fully proven because completion rose
  3. CThe programme failed because no outputs were delivered
  4. DThe comparison village should be excluded as it is irrelevant

Explanation

A comparison group shows what would probably have happened without the intervention. Since the similar rise occurred there too, the programme's own contribution appears small. Outputs may have been delivered, so failure of outputs is not implied, and a comparison group is highly relevant.
