We study nearly 3,000 married women under the age of 60 from the poorest households in the villages who are part of a village level trial that randomised them into one of the following four arms (table 1): 

• Cash: The cash arm targets economic constraints by providing a one time large unconditional cash transfer of US$ 2,237 PPP, given through mobile money in three tranches, each two months apart. 

• Video: The psychological arm targets self-beliefs by showing a video with stories of two women with similar backgrounds to the respondents, improving their economic status, followed by a facilitated goal-setting exercise (Bandura, 1977a). The videos do not explicitly mention intimate partner violence or controlling behaviours by the spouse but show women in positive, supportive and consultative relationships, who with the help of their spouse are able to change the household's economic circumstances.

• Combined: The combined arm targets both economic and psychological constraints by providing both the cash and psychological interventions.

• Active control: The active control arm receives only a psychologically inactive video about farming in Kenya to rule out effects of exposure to media and the enumerators administering the intervention. 

The average woman in this study sample is 32 years of age, has primary education, four children in total and one child aged 0 to 5. We evaluate the effect of the interventions with a survey conducted between February and April 2018 with the women, on average, one year after the first cash transfer tranche. We measure women's bargaining power as two key outcomes of household bargaining: women's control of household resources and her experience of intimate partner violence in the last 12 months.
