Impact of the Child-Optimized Financial Education (COFE) Curriculum among Savings Group Participants in Uganda: A Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial

A randomized controlled trial in Uganda evaluated the Child-Optimized Financial Education (COFE) curriculum delivered through Savings and Internal Lending Communities (SILC). Results show that COFE significantly increased caregivers’ ability to pay for children’s school expenses compared to SILC-only groups. However, COFE did not significantly affect health-related spending or financial self-efficacy. Findings suggest that child-focused financial education can improve educational outcomes for vulnerable households.
