Take our survey on the Development Evidence Portal
|
 |
|
| 3ie’s Development Evidence Portal (DEP) is the largest-of-its-kind repository of impact evaluations, systematic reviews and evidence gap maps focused on low- and middle-income countries. While we continue to add more high-quality evidence and improve the user experience, we are trying to understand how this resource is being used. Your responses will help inform efforts to maintain this resource as a free-to-use public good. |

A framework to examine women’s economic empowerment in collective enterprises
 Collectivization is a critical component of women’s economic empowerment and our flagship empowerment program, ‘Swashakt: Empowering Indian Women’s Collectives’, amplifies the force of women's collectives in male-dominated enterprise spaces. Is there a way to define women’s economic empowerment (WEE) and analyze the role of collectivization in it? In our latest working paper, we examine the pathways to change and provide a framework that can guide decision-makers, practitioners, and researchers on what inputs, outputs and outcomes should be considered for designing, monitoring and evaluating a program similar to Swashakt.

Sanitation-linked livelihoods project: Six key insights from a learning study
 Four years after the Indian government provided a roadmap to collectivize vulnerable groups and create livelihoods by engaging them in sanitation enterprises, several states in the country have made strides in this area. They’re working towards empowering collectives of women and other vulnerable communities, including transgender people and persons with disabilities, by employing them to operate and maintain sanitation enterprises and support the provision of sanitation service delivery. Our latest findings from this learning study in six cities across Odisha, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana help us understand the factors that influence the acceptability, adoption, feasibility, and sustainability of these enterprises – and what it would require to scale them up.
