We examine the effect of information provision on women\u2019s stated likelihood of participation in the Kenya Development Response to Displacement Impacts Project (KDRDIP), a CDD effort supported by the World Bank. An information experiment was conducted, where women in the treatment received detailed information about KDRDIP and the various benefits of participation in project activities, while households in the control group received a placebo script limited to the description of KDRDIP. The provision of information has a limited effect on the likelihood of women\u2019s participation: receiving information does not influence affect the likelihood of participation, whilst understanding the information received have a non-robust positive effect. The provision of information did not change women\u2019s stated likelihood of participation. Their propensity to participate is instead strongly predicted by prior stated likelihood of participation and prior perception of the benefits of participation.
