An Introduction to Evidence Gap Maps

Ms. Marie Gaarder, Executive Director and Francis Rathinam, Senior Evaluation Specialist from 3ie (International Initiative for Impact Evaluation) gave an introduction to Evidence Gap Maps which present a visual overview of existing and ongoing studies or reviews in a sector or sub-sector in terms of the types of programmes evaluated and the outcomes measured. The participants also presented an interactive online platform developed by 3ie that allows users to explore the evidence in a particular evidence gap map (EGM) which has links to user-friendly summaries and full-text articles where available.
