This project studies the impact of an innovative Programme in the Indian state of Bihar that aimed to reduce the gender gap in secondary school enrolment by providing girls who continued to secondary school with a bicycle that would improve access to school. The findings shows that the Programme was much more cost effective at increasing girls' enrolment than comparable conditional cash transfer programmes.
