About 3ieThe International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) develops evidence on how to effectively transform the lives of the poor in low-and middle-income countries. Established in 2008, we offer comprehensive support and a diversity of approaches to achieve development goals by producing, synthesizing and promoting the uptake of impact evaluation evidence. We work closely with governments, foundations, NGOs, development institutions and research organizations to address their decision-making needs. With offices in Washington DC, New Delhi and London and a global network of leading researchers, we offer deep expertise across our extensive menu of evaluation services.3ie evidence gap maps 3ie evidence gap maps are thematic collections of information about impact evaluations or systematic reviews that measure the effects of international development policies and programs. The maps provide a visual display of completed and ongoing systematic reviews and impact evaluations in a sector or subsector, structured around a framework of interventions and outcomes.The evidence gap map reports provide all the supporting documentation for the maps, including the background information for the theme of the map, the methods and results, protocols, and the analysis of results. About this evidence gap mapThis report presents the findings for a systematic search to identify and map the evidence base of impact evaluations and systematic reviews of interventions that aim to address the root causes of irregular migration in low-and middle-income countries. The EGM was developed by 3ie with funding from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) -Guatemala through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) funded project, Addressing the Root Causes of Irregular Migration in Guatemala.
