The results of this work are published here as two guides intended to be read in the following sequence. The first, “Design and Evaluation Principles for Children’s Savings Account Programs,” presents key design considerations for CSA programs and provides guidance on selecting the best performance indicators for a given program and monitoring progress toward goals. The second, “Common Metrics for Children’s Savings Account Programs,” proposes a set of standard measures. Organizations can then select measures aligned to the specific CSA program goals from the “menu” of options.
