This inaugural edition of the 3ie Evidence Dialogues focused on the role of evidence in the context of peacebuilding and transitional development assistance. Apart from presenting the findings from a new systematic review assessing the effects of interventions to promote social cohesion, the discussion touched upon the role and use of evidence in the sector, building a culture of evidence use, and how to ensure right steps are taken to addresses the existing evidence gaps in this sector.

At this event, participants reviewed evidence to inform the implementation of current policy and program initiatives. They also deliberated on ways of tapping into insights from implementation research to help strengthen the maternal and child nutrition initiatives in India.

In this session organised by 3ie at the Asian Evaluation Week 2020, participants exposed to new techniques and methods of collecting information when traditional sources of data, such as surveys and face-to-face interviews are challenging due to costs, logistics or difficult environments such as during pandemics or in post-conflict areas.

3ie executive director Marie Gaarder participated in a panel on what facilitates and inhibits the use of impact evaluation products in policymaking decisions organised by the Center for Global Development.

In the talk, the authors will present a systematic map highlighting how big data are being innovatively used in measuring and evaluating development outcomes.
