This evaluation report finds that there are many opportunities to improve the policy and program measures in place to promote and support diversity in STEM, both at the initiative and...

This report summarises the evidence in the peer-reviewed literature on what initiatives benefit gender equity in STEM, and how they can be successfully implemented and evaluated. The authors use this evidence to make preliminary recommendations for what works to shift the dial around gender equity in the STEM sector.

While it does not cover how to implement every type of equity and diversity intervention, many of the concepts about program design and evaluation can be applied to non-gender-focused programs.
