We are hosting a series of highly-interactive online events from 7–28 May, as part of the new Virtual Evidence Weeks.
Our first event focused on how evidence is already playing a key role in shaping our responses to COVID-19. You can watch the event recording here or read the blog summarising the key takeaways.
Our second event introduced 3ie’s Development Evidence Portal and highly-engaged participants raised some critical questions on accessibility, inclusion criteria and how we could improve our portal. Watch the recording here or read the blog summary.
Panellists will focus broadly on the use of cost evidence in impact evaluations. They will share real-world examples of how cost evidence is critical for policymaking and share key practical and methodological considerations for research to the global “market” in international development for cost analysis in impact evaluation.

Scaling up 28 May | 15:00-16:30 BST
Panellists will focus on scalability. If our purpose is the improvement of effective interventions that can improve lives, we need to know not just if interventions are effective under ideal conditions, but if they can be scaled and the cost implications of doing so. Register
Funding alert | Implementation and evaluation grants for women’s empowerment
We are still accepting proposals from organisations or consortia engaged in implementing and/or evaluating—at scale or through pilots—innovative economic interventions for women’s collectives- and group-based enterprises in India under the new Swashakt evidence programme. The programme seeks to generate evidence-informed interventions to enhance viability, scalability and returns of women’s collective enterprises to promote women’s economic empowerment. The deadline for applications has been extended to 18 May.

#VaccinesWorkForAll | World Immunisation Week 2020
In this World Immunisation Week special blog, 3ie’s Mark Engelbert emphasises the need to focus on delivering key preventive services to protect public health, including routine immunisation for children. He shares some insights into an upcoming evidence gap map on interventions to increase routine immunisation in L&MICs, including some provisions findings of where the evidence is and what the gaps are.
Evidence from 3ie-supported review informs evaluation design
Findings of the 3ie-supported systematic review by Buck et al (2017), which analysed the evidence base on safe water, sanitation and hygiene promotion interventions L&MICs, informed the design of the Belgian Red Cross’s recently commissioned evaluation in Tanzania. The published protocol for the evaluation cites the review’s findings on the promise of contextualised behaviour science-based interventions and the lack of consensus on the effectiveness and long-term effects of different interventions to promote handwashing and safe sanitation for health.

What do we know about interventions to build peaceful societies? What don't we know?
We organised a webinar on 30 April to launch our latest evidence gap map that maps the evidence base for 275 studies corresponding to over 40 intervention types implemented in fragile contexts with the aim of building sustainable peace. The lead authors presented the key findings of the 3ie-Deval collaborative project and shared tips on how to use the online, interactive evidence gap map and its findings to improve peacebuilding programming and research.
3ieNews is a bi-monthly newsletter of the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie). We promote evidence-informed equitable, inclusive and sustainable development. We support the generation and effective use of high-quality evidence to inform decision-making and help improve the lives of people living in poverty in low- and middle-income countries. We provide guidance and support to produce, synthesise and assure the quality of evidence of what works, for whom, how, why and at what cost.
