Evidence review: Women’s professional leadership in law and economics

Document

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 literature by area experts to help us understand major trends as well as new directions about what we know works – and doesn’t 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 are focused on critical evidence of initiatives that have been evaluated at scale, we understand there are experiences and 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 also 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, and also to amplify the voices and experiences of women, girls, and other marginalized groups.
