Welcome to our living diary of a Very Rapid Evidence Synthesis Response. As part of the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie), Africa Centre for Evidence (ACE) and the Global Evidence Synthesis Initiative (GESI), Evidence Synthesis Response to the COVID-19 crisis, we are conducting 10-Day Rapid Evidence Synthesis on COVID-19’s gendered effects. The 3ie-ACE-GESI partnership is focused on providing easy access to rigorous and timely syntheses to inform non-clinical COVID-19 responses in L&MICs in the short and medium term. This Rapid Evidence Synthesis Response is one of a range of partnership outputs including a survey of COVID-19 priority topics, which identified the gendered nature of the pandemic effects as a key evidence need.
On this page, the team conducting the 10-Day Rapid Evidence Synthesis on COVID-19’s gendered effects (Gender RES) will outline their reflections and experiences. The 10-day rapid evidence synthesis approach adapts systematic review methodology in order produce a synthesis of key results in a more rapid timeframe. Our rapid synthesis will answer the following two review questions:
- What are the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on women’s employment in LMICs, and
- What are the effects of strategies aiming to mitigate crises’ effects on women’s employment and/or to support women’s employment recovery in LMICs more broadly?
