Navigating the Evidence on Savings-Focused Financial Inclusion

Oct 29, 2018 | by The SEEP Network

View presentation

As part of the Mastercard Foundation Savings Learning Lab, Itad and The SEEP Network developed a searchable, interactive evidence map that provides consolidated access to relevant evidence related to savings-focused financial inclusion.

The Savings Evidence Map systematically scoped out available evidence within the savings sector through the application of search protocols and rigorous selection and quality assurance criteria. Evidence was then analysed, tagged and mapped onto a matrix structure to provide a visual representation to help users quickly locate information and identify gaps in available evidence.

The Map is especially useful for:

Practitioners

Donors, investors, policy makers

Researchers

✔ Looking for evidence of what works to inform savings programming in specific areas

✔ Advocating and fundraising for new approaches in areas where there is little evidence or fewer interventions

✔ Looking to develop guidelines for practice in areas where there is substantial evidence of what works

✔ Interested in making evidence-based, strategic investments and policies in areas where there is sufficient, high-confidence evidence of what works

✔ Donors looking to identify and support the development of a body of practice in little explored areas by funding programs and research where there is little evidence

✔ Interested in identifying gaps in evidence and filling these

✔ Interested in conducting systematic reviews of evidence in areas that are not sufficiently or recently synthesized
