Abstract

We investigate the very long-run impacts of a randomized cash grant in Uganda during COVID-19 lockdowns. In 2008, the program supported young adults through a one-time entrepreneurial grant. Considerable effects materialized after four years, which vanished after nine years. For the 12-year follow-up, we pre-specified three outcomes, including a heterogeneity analysis by gender. We find positive effects on employment and income for men, but no effects on food security. We also find no effects for women. These re-surfacing effects suggest that the timing of a follow-up matters – an important insight for the growing literature on long-run studies.
