Research, evaluation and learning are core components of Co-Impact’s work. As we embark on a concerted effort to contribute to achieving gender equality at scale in the global south, we need to learn about and build on the existing evidence and knowledge. As part of our broader learning effort, we commissioned a series of rapid reviews of the literature by area experts to help us understand major trends as well as new directions in what we know works—and does not work—to achieve gender-equitable outcomes at scale in the global south. While these reviews serve as a core component of our evolving thinking, they do not represent official opinions of Co-Impact. Given that these reviews focus on critical evidence from initiatives that have been evaluated at scale, we recognize that there are experiences and forms of knowledge that may not be captured in these documents. We hope to invest in additional reviews in the future to cover other areas of inquiry and to build on a wider spectrum of evidence and perspectives. This important work underpins the development of our own research and learning strategy, in which we will prioritize the questions and needs of practitioners working to achieve gender-equitable outcomes, as well as amplify the voices and experiences of women, girls, and other marginalized groups. We hope that this evidence and knowledge, in turn, will contribute to building the global evidence base.
