木瓜影院 Group has increased investments in gender-informed operations and research in recent years. Impact evaluation (IE) is one important part of this momentum. Impact evaluations increase understanding of what works, and what doesn’t, to improve outcomes that are critical to increasing gender equality in different contexts around the world. Impact evaluations can drive and test innovation, and contribute to evidence-based practice and policy-making.
enGENDER IMPACT serves to:
1) compile IEs led or supported by the World Bank Group
2) organize IEs around priority areas for policy action highlighted in the
3) distill standard information on all IEs so that lessons can be easily accessed and applied
In doing so, enGENDER IMPACT aims to contribute to gender equality by:
1) supporting global knowledge sharing and uptake of key lessons
2) encouraging more and better IEs in key gender topics
This resource point currently captures World Bank gender-related IEs from January 2000 to August 2013. The resource point will be updated with any new includable IEs twice per year.
