EAPGIL's mission is to generate evidence on what works-and does not-to promote gender equality in East Asia and Pacific and to translate evidence into better policies and programs. EAPGIL adopts a holistic approach, working with partners at every stage of the policy-making process, from setting the policy agenda to designing policies, programs, and interventions, to evaluating whether these programs achieve their goals. Beyond evaluating programs after they have taken place, EAPGIL views rigorous research as a cycle
previous findings can be used to inform future priorities and the design of interventions, which, in turn, can be evaluated to generate more evidence and further refine policies.
