Synthetic reviews examine the existing evidence on a particular intervention or program in low and middle income countries, drawing also on evidence from developed countries when pertinent. 3ie is partnering with the Campbell Collaboration in the production of synthetic reviews. All reviews are carried out in accordance with Campbell Collaboration guidelines and procedures.

In anticipation of forthcoming requests for proposals (RFP) for new reviews from both DFID and AusAID, 3ie has postponed its own call until late August to enable coordination with these other two RFPs.
