📢 New Brief and Evidence Gap Map: "What do we know about the evidence base on social assistance interventions to reach the furthest behind?" Complemented by a comprehensive Evidence Gap Map, this brief dives into the evidence base on gender-, age- and disability-responsive vouchers and in-kind transfers in LMICs and provides insights into programme regions and countries, types of interventions, targeted outcomes and population groups reached. Key takeaways: 📚 249 studies analyzed, including 155 impact studies and 94 UN process/performance evaluations. 🌍 Most evidence comes from Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America, but gaps remain in low-income and fragile settings. ⛳️ Children and adolescents are prioritized, but interventions for persons with disabilities and the elderly are underrepresented. ⚠️ There is limited research on vouchers for poverty reduction (SDG 1) and gender equality (SDG 5), and a need for more inclusive programming. 🔗 Download the brief: https://lnkd.in/ewZaYJXh 🔗 Explore the Evidence Gap Map: https://lnkd.in/eXGkQ3z6 Stay tuned for the final synthesis report which will provide deeper analysis and actionable insights for policymakers, practitioners and donors! #SDGs #LNOB Center for Evaluation and Development (C4ED) UNICEF Evaluation UN Women World Food Programme UNESCO UNDP Independent Evaluation Office
