Integration of HIV Services Evidence Program

Much of the evidence surrounding the integration of HIV services with maternal, neonatal, and child health services, as well as with sexual and reproductive health and family planning services, does not come from rigorous studies. As a result, many practitioners and researchers would like more evidence about the effects of integrating HIV services into primary healthcare settings.

HIV Self-Testing Evidence Program

To gain a better understanding of whether providing HIV self-tests to people would increase HIV testing rates, and who might benefit most from availability of tests, 3ie funded seven pilot interventions and their impact evaluations in Kenya, Uganda and Zambia. The evaluations measure the use of oral HIV self-tests to increase testing rates generally and/or increase the frequency of testing among targeted populations. The results provide robust and actionable evidence on how to safely and effectively promote oral HIV self-testing as an additional testing option.

HIV Combination Prevention Program

3ie, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is supporting studies and other work on HIV combination prevention to maximize the useful knowledge and policy implications from these interventions.

Maternal and Child Health

3ie, the World Health Organization and the Partnership for Maternal Newborn & Child Health worked together to create a gap map to assess the evidence available on social, behavioural and community engagement interventions related to reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health programs in low and middle-income countries.

Immunization

Vaccines prevent millions of child deaths each year. Over the past few years, however, global immunization coverage has stagnated and even slipped, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (L&MICs). This was even before the COVID-19 pandemic increased the number of unvaccinated children by 6 million between 2019 and 2021. In 2021, the World Health Organization estimated that 25 million children under age one had not received all their vaccinations.

Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health

Improving adolescent sexual and reproductive health requires decision-makers to have evidence on what works or not, for whom and why, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (L&MIC).

Transparency and Accountability in Natural Resources Evidence Program

The natural resource governance sector is under-researched and programs in it are under-evaluated. 3ie supported seven impact evaluations to fill critical knowledge gaps on what works to improve governance in the extractives sector in low- and middle-income countries.

Education

According to the United Nations estimates, 103 million youth worldwide lack basic literacy skills, and more than 60 per cent of them are women.

Rural India Livelihoods Project

Launched in 2011, the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM) aims to link the rural poor in India to sustainable livelihood opportunities and financial services. In collaboration with the Ministry of Rural Development, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and World Bank, 3ie in partnership with Vrutti Livelihood Impact Partners (Vrutti) and Catalyst Management Services (CMS), has been generating rigorous evidence since 2019 on the impacts of this large-scale program on livelihood promotion and social mobilization.

Strengthening Evidence and Economic Modelling Partnership Project

3ie, in partnership with the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), is working to strengthen evidence use in MCC’s program designs and investment decisions.
