Assessing the effectiveness of food security and nutrition interventions on gender transformative outcomes

Etienne Lwamba, Kishore Basak, Ashiqun Nabi, Pierre Marion, Ingunn Storhaug 16 April 2024 blog  
In 2023, 735 million individuals worldwide experienced hunger, and 258 million people across 58 countries and territories faced acute food insecurity at crisis or worse levels. With 60% of them comprising women, the gender gap in food insecurity continues to widen.

3ie's living Food Systems Evidence and Gap Map: Slow progress on evidence gaps, but little high-quality synthesis

Ingunn Storhaug, Mark Engelbert 24 November 2023 blog  
In our most recent update to our living Evidence and Gap Map (E&GM) on Food Systems, we see the continuation of several trends: more evaluations of national and transnational programs; fewer evaluations of supplementation and fortification interventions; a shift toward quasi-experimental research; and a dearth of high-quality systematic reviews.

3ie's living Food Systems Evidence and Gap Map: Mixed mid-term findings and project extension

Charlotte Lane, Ingunn Storhaug 11 July 2023 blog  
3ie has now been engaging in its ambitious living evidence mapping process for three years. The mid-term report showed a mixed message: although we have added 267 impact evaluations and systematic reviews of impact evaluations to the map in the last two years, the rate of expansion in the evidence base has slowed since 2019.

3ie Living Evidence Gap Map: New food systems evaluations focus on the big picture

Charlotte Lane, Ingunn Storhaug 20 January 2023 blog  
Food systems transformation is a global problem, and increasingly evaluations of food systems interventions are considering national and transnational solutions. The world's food system is under threat from the “three Cs” – COVID, climate, and conflict. As the Food and Agriculture Organization notes, the war in Ukraine brought these threats into sharp focus in 2022, pushing the already high global food prices even higher. To mitigate the effects of, and eventually recover from, these shocks, we need to know what interventions are effective at improving food security and nutrition, who they work for, and what they cost. In our newest update to our living Evidence Gap Map we've added 72 new studies, some of which show positive effects of nation-wide plans to shift land ownership policies.

Groundbreaking studies now part of 3ie's Food Systems and Nutrition Evidence Gap Map

Charlotte Lane, Ingunn Storhaug, Rike Riesmeier, Tina Koch 18 August 2022 blog  
In June 2022, a high-level expert group from the European Commission called for independent and up-to-date reports on the scientific evidence about food systems transformation. We certainly agree this work is essential – that’s why we’ve been producing such reports since 2020 as part of 3ie’s living Food Systems and Nutrition Evidence Gap Map (EGM). In our latest update, we add groundbreaking studies to the map, including one on sugar-sweetened beverage taxes.
