Intervention 4
Women L1 (INT4): Did you attend the intervention 4 workshop?
Learned during the intervention
Almost 77% of the respondents attended the intervention 4 workshop. Men attended this intervention in greater proportion than women (79% vs 74%).
Almost all respondents could name specific lessons taken from the workshop. The diversity in their answers was considerable and no one overarching theme stood out from the answers (unlike after intervention 2). The lesson mentioned most often was "learning how to browse". Other answers included have learned "about apps", "about passwords", "how to recognize secure websites" and "about m-ledger". Some 5 respondents could not remember any specific things from the intervention.

Expectations from the intervention
More than half of the respondents that attended the workshop indicated there was nothing else they had expected to learn during the workshop. When respondents did mention something, it was most often a reference to smartphones or internet in general. A handful of answers referred to specific things, like wanting to learn about cyber crime, about digital financial services or how to make apps.
L4 (INT4): What did you expect to learn but you did not?
L5 (INT4): What is your future expectation in the next intervention?
Women L7 (INT4): Did you teach anyone what you learnt in the Intervention 4?
Spreading lessons learned
Almost half of the respondents that attended the workshop passed the information that they learned on to others. This is considerably less than after the previous intervention, when 62% said they taught someone else what they had learned.
Women did so more often after this intervention: 46% of the attending women said they taught someone else, while 42% of the attending men did. After the previous intervention men had indicated they taught someone else more often than women.
Friends and family were the most common beneficiaries of this new information.

Intervention 5
Women L10 (INT5): Did you attend the intervention 5 workshop?
Learned during the intervention
The fifth intervention workshop was attended by 70% of all respondents from the treatment group -- considerably less than the 80% that attended the previous workshop. This drop in attendance is attributable to the female respondents: only 60% of the women attended the fifth intervention workshop.
All but one of the attending respondents could recall what they learned during the workshop. While there was a variety in the answers, most answers included lessons on how to use smartphones. The overarching themes that were remembered most often -- both by men and women -- were how to use a smartphone to solve real-life challenges and to learn new languages.

Expectations from the intervention
Thirty respondents that attended the workshop indicated there was nothing else they had expected to learn during the workshop, meaning another 29 respondents could articulate something they were missing from the workshop -- this is a larger proportion than after the previous workshop. Most references were to smartphones or technology in general but there was a wide variety in answers, most of them mentioned once or twice only. Some examples of these answers include: learn how to secure accounts, how to use email, about apps, about hacking and about saving money.
The expectations expressed for future workshops were even more diverse and also more specific. Only 9 respondents answered there was nothing specific they expected from future workshops. While most of the remaining answers were one-off, such as "about different types of phones", "about playstore", or "how to download", several answers featured multiple times. The requests mentioned most often were learning how to create apps, how to use smartphones and new digital skills.
