There is a broad spectrum of interventions targeted at gender equality in developing countries. However, to our knowledge, there is no evidence gap map on the effectiveness of interventions to improve women’s empowerment in developing countries. This evidence gap map (EGM) plots studies on the effectiveness of interventions for women’s empowerment in developing countries (defined here as the list of countries defined by the Kyoto Protocol as non-Annex I countries).

This EGM serves as a useful visual resource for the Green Climate Fund, the International Fund for Agricultural Development, practitioners, policymakers and researchers to understand the areas in which most research on the effectiveness of interventions for women’s empowerment is concentrated.
