Abstract
The Employment and Growth (EG) program of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) leverages innovative solutions for inclusive economies through investment of $CAD 70.8 million in research and research leadership across the Global South. The research takes place in Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), as well as across different regions and globally. The program, begun in 2015, invests in research through 84 research projects (and sub-studies) to provide lasting impacts for women and youth in decent work and the economy, financial services, value chains, and through innovative business models. In many cases these areas overlap. Sisters Ink a global peer coaching and consulting group was contracted to conduct a formative Learning Evaluation for EG to both improve and direct programming for the EG team, IDRC management, and the evaluation unit. Secondary audiences include the wider programs at IDRC and the development sector more broadly.
