3ie’s London Evidence Week cancelled and plans for virtual events
In line with the evolving situation and government advisories, we have cancelled 3ie’s Evidence Week public conference scheduled for 23 April in London, UK and postponed activities planned around our members’ conference to later this year. We regret any inconvenience caused.
However, we do not want this unfortunate global emergency to stop us from sharing the important insights that we and our panellists had planned to discuss with all of you. Instead, we want to take this opportunity to be climate-conscious, innovative and be more accessible by hosting a series of virtual events. To make our virtual events engaging and productive, we would like your ideas on how we can continue to engage with you.

#2020Hindsight campaign: International Women’s Day
 As part of our 2020 hindsight campaign, this month we are focusing on evidence from systemic reviews on women’s empowerment.

In the previous months, we shared insights on education and employment. To check out all the blog posts, you can visit the campaign page on our website. 3ie 2020 Hindsight campaign shares insights from this review here and here. |
