Meta-synthesis and meta-analysis of evidence on Child Marriage in South Asia
Overview
The body of research on child marriage has significantly expanded in recent years, but there are still
significant gaps in our understanding, especially regarding effective interventions within particular
contexts.
The combined meta-synthesis and meta-analysis aims at identifying, critically appraising,
synthesizing and compiling all relevant and available evidence on what works to prevent child
marriage in the South Asian Region (SAR). It will include models of child marriage prevention or
reduction that have proven successful in humanitarian or fragile contexts, as well as for minority or
extremely vulnerable populations. Interventions that had an impact on child marriage as a primary,
secondary or unintended outcome will also be included in this study. The meta-analysis will provide
a quantitative estimate of the effect size of ECM interventions from available rigorous studies that
meet the relevant criteria.
The overarching purpose of the meta-synthesis and the meta-analysis is to enhance learning and
facilitate evidence-based decision-making to improve programme results in South Asia. It aims at
capturing learning on effective interventions to prevent child marriage in order to shed light on what
works for ECM in the South Asian region.
