2023 Agency Learning Agenda: Rapid Literature Review Series

2023 Agency Learning Agenda Rapid Literature Review Series features anti-corruption, affirmative development, resilience, and migration: Looking for the latest evidence on the Agency's policy priorities to inform your activity design, mid-course stocktaking, or other programmatic decision point? Hot off the presses: this series of four rapid literature reviews summarizes select USAID and external literature published from 2018–2022 in response to critical evidence needs identified by Agency staff: 

• What anti-corruption approaches are effective at addressing systemic corruption across multiple sectors?
• What development approaches are effective at mitigating external authoritarian influences, actions, or messages?
• What systems-level approaches are effective at strengthening the resilience of households, communities and enterprises?
• In the context of donor-funded programs serving communities where migrants reside, what is the state of evidence on strategies or approaches for engaging directly with migrants and addressing their particular needs (vis-à-vis other community residents)?

Each publication is organized in line with Agency frameworks for each policy area, and summarizes literature that can be used to inform our development and humanitarian assistance strategies and programs. A range of sources is included in each review, including case studies, systematic reviews, impact evaluations, randomized controlled trials, institutional reports, gray literature, and more.
