Escobal, J. y Ponce, C. (Eds.) (2016). Combinando protección social con generación de oportunidades económicas: una evaluación de los avances del programa Haku Wiñay. Lima: GRADE.

The aim of this volume is to provide rigorous evidence of the initial impacts of the Mi Chacra Emprendedora-Haku Wiñay project in a representative sample of its areas of intervention in the rural highlands. The first chapter of the book situates the project within the framework of interventions that combine productive development programmes with social policy. The second chapter characterises the intervention and, in the following chapters, describes the impact evaluation methodology and presents the results of the evaluation.

Complementing the quantitative analysis, two additional studies are presented, elaborated from a qualitative methodological perspective. These studies deepen the analysis on key issues to achieve sustainability of the positive impacts generated by the project. Finally, the book concludes with a chapter that synthesises the results of the quantitative and qualitative components of the evaluation, and reflects on the policy dilemmas associated with scaling up the project and the sustainability of its impacts.
