Evidence gap map: Behavioural science interventions within the development and environmental fields in developing countries

The evidence gap map (EGM) presents a report and online resource depicting the landscape of studies on the effectiveness of behavioural science interventions. It finds the most commonly evaluated interventions are reminders and feedback. Most studies are from the WASH, financial, energy/extractives, and agricultural sector. Studies report adaptation outcomes more frequently than on mitigation, especially regarding knowledge, uptake and use.
