Overview
This EGM was based on a comprehensive and systematic search of academic databases and grey literature sources, screening of selected academic journals and citation tracking of selected systematic reviews during February 2022. The EGM comprised of impact evaluations, process evaluations and systematic reviews of interventions for women’s empowerment in developing countries. The eligible population for this map included girls and women of any age, although the intervention could also be targeted at boys and men of any age. The EGM contained 423 studies, of which 288 were impact evaluations, 105 were process evaluations and 38 were systematic reviews (which totals 431 studies as a single study may be an impact evaluation as well as a process evaluation).
