Resumen
Descripción
Evidence-gap maps present a new addition
to the tools available to support evidence-informed policy
making. Evidence-gap maps are thematic evidence collections
covering a range of issues such as maternal health,
HIV/AIDS, and agriculture. They present a visual overview of
existing systematic reviews or impact evaluations in a
sector or subsector, schematically representing the types of
interventions evaluated and outcomes reported. Gap maps
enable policy makers and practitioners to explore the
findings and quality of the existing evidence and facilitate
informed judgment and evidence-based decision making in
international development policy and practice. The gap map
also identifies key "gaps" where little or no
evidence from impact evaluations and systematic reviews is
available and where future research should be focused. Thus,
gap maps can be a useful tool for developing a strategic
approach to building the evidence base in a particular
sector. This paper provides an introduction to evidence-gap
maps, outlines the gap-map methodology, and presents some examples.
