Building a Child-Focused Evaluation Evidence Synthesis System

This Glocal session explores how AI-powered tools like EPPI-Mapper and SWIFT-Review enhance evaluation through text mining and rapid evidence synthesis, supporting a dynamic “living synthesis” of what works for children.

About

The #GLOCAL2026 session is on: 3 June 2026 | 8 AM EDT (New York)

 

The UNICEF Evaluation Office is using AI-enabled evidence synthesis to better understand what works for children and where gaps remain. This webinar uses UNICEF’s Global Evaluation Evidence Synthesis as a case to explore how AI tools can enhance evaluation methods—from screening and text mining to rapid evidence extraction.​

It will demonstrate the use of EPPI-Mapper and SWIFT-Review and show how these workflows support a shift toward a continuously updated “living synthesis”.​
