Youth and transferable skills: an evidence gap map

This report summarises the findings of an evidence gap map on transferable skills programming for youth in low- and middle-income countries, developed by 3ie as part of a project funded by the MacArthur Foundation and the MasterCard Foundation. The evidence gap map provides a visual representation of how much impact evaluation evidence exists on youth and transferable skills according to the types of programmes evaluated and outcomes measured. The map contains 90 completed impact evaluations coded across 24 intervention categories and 15 outcome categories. The framework for the map was developed through a consultative process involving stakeholders from several agencies and organisations. [...] The evidence gap map and this report illuminate the supply of evidence connected to transferable skills programming. The accompanying scoping paper (Brown et al. 2015) explores this supply of evidence, as well as the demand for this evidence, in more detail.
