<p>Micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) account for most firms in most economies, particularly in developing nations, and are key contributors to job creation and global economic development. However, the most significant impediment to MSME development in low- and middle-income countries is a lack of access to both investment and working capital financing. Due to a lack of essential track record, appropriate collateral, and credit history, MSMEs are frequently denied business loans by traditional lending institutions. In addition, MSMEs face institutional, structural, and non-financial factors that further impede access to funding. To address this, both public and private sectors employ indirect and direct finance interventions to help MSMEs in developing and emerging economies enhance and increase their financing needs. Given the importance of MSMEs in the economy, a comprehensive overview and systematic synthesizing of the evidence of the effects of financial access interventions for MSMEs, capturing a wide variety of outcome variables, is useful. The objective of this evidence and gap map (EGM) is to describe the existing evidence on the effects of various interventions dedicated to supporting and improving MSMEs' access to credit, as well as the corresponding firm performance and/or welfare outcomes. An EGM is a systematic evidence product that displays the existing evidence relevant to a specific research question. To better understand the various interventions dedicated to supporting and improving MSMEs' access to credit, as well as their outcomes, we conducted electronic searches in databases using various search strings. This search strategy was supplemented with gray literature searches and systematic review citation tracking to ensure that the research team had identified a significant portion of relevant research works. We included studies that examined interventions aimed at enhancing MSMEs' access to finance in low- and middle-income countries, targeting MSMEs including households, smallholder farmers and single person enterprise, as well as financial institutions/agencies and their staff. This EGM considered five types of interventions: (i) strategy, legislation and regulatory; (ii) financing systems and institutions; (iii) access facilitation; (iv) lending instruments or financial products; and (v) demand-side programs for financial literacy. On the other hand, the EGM also covered outcome domains for policy environment, financial inclusion, firm performance, and welfare. Both impact evaluations and systematic reviews of relevant interventions for a previously defined target population were included in this EGM, whether they had experimental or non-experimental designs. We considered studies that were completed or in progress. All eligible studies included a suitable comparison group for interventions. For practical reasons, studies were limited to papers written in English, with no restrictions by publication date. B

Meta-analyses often use standardized mean differences (SMDs), such as Cohen's d and Hedges' g, to compare treatment effects. However, these SMDs are highly sensitive to the within-study sample variability used for their standardization, potentially distorting individual effect size estimates and compromising overall meta-analytic conclusions. This study introduces harmonized standardized mean differences (HSMDs), a novel sensitivity analysis framework designed to systematically evaluate and address such distortions. The HSMD harmonizes relative within-study variability across studies by employing the coefficient of variation (CV) to establish empirical benchmarks (e.g., CV quartiles). SMDs are then recalculated under these consistent variability assumptions. Applying this framework to Meta-analytic data reveals the extent to which (original) effect sizes and pooled results are influenced by initial, study-specific standard deviations to standardize mean differences. Furthermore, the method facilitates the inclusion of studies lacking reported variability metrics into the sensitivity analysis, enhancing the comprehensiveness of the meta-analytic synthesis.

<p>Halfway through the final decade of actions towards the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), progress toward SDG7 is off track. It is estimated that by 2030, 660 million people, mainly rural populations within Sub-Saharan Africa, will be without electricity. One promising avenue to counteract this trend is the provision of decentralised, or off-grid, renewable energy. Our systematic review synthesised the rigorous evidence evaluating off-grid electrification interventions and provides policymakers, practitioners and researchers across the sustainable energy field with an updated and comprehensive analysis of the impact of off-grid electrification interventions. Our systematic review synthesised the available rigorous evidence on the effects of off-grid technologies in low- and middle-income countries. We assessed which off-grid interventions are effective at supporting access, climate and socio-economic development outcomes, how these effects vary by region, population and other intervention characteristics and the main challenges and facilitators for interventions to benefit participants. We conducted a systematic search in 18 academic databases and 29 grey literature sources. We supplemented our searches by conducting backward and forward citation tracking, publishing a call for additional studies and contacting subject experts. To identify additional qualitative studies, we performed additional searches for studies related to interventions from our included impact evaluations. We included experimental and quasi-experimental impact evaluations of interventions promoting the use and uptake of off-grid technologies in low- and middle-income countries. Interventions fell into one of four categories: the <i>direct provision</i> of technologies, the <i>opportunity to purchase/market expansion</i> of technologies, <i>subsidies and credit</i> to purchase technologies, <i>information provision</i> promoting the use of technologies. Studies in any language were included, though they must have been published since 2000. We also included qualitative studies to understand the main challenges and facilitators of intervention effectiveness. Quantitative data was extracted for all estimates deemed relevant and the risk of bias for each of these estimates was assessed independently by two reviewers. When data allowed us to do so, we calculated standardised mean differences for results from each study and used random effects meta-analysis to synthesise effectiveness findings for comparable outcomes. We provided forest plots and measures of heterogeneity for all outcomes and tested for publication bias in outcomes with more than 10 effect sizes. When feasible, we conducted moderator analysis to understand how effects varied by intervention characteristics and checked whether results were sensitive to the risk of bias score of estimates.

It is estimated that by 2030, 660 million people, mainly rural populations within Sub-Saharan Africa, will be without electricity. One promising avenue to counteract this trend is the provision of decentralised, or off-grid, renewable energy. Our systematic review synthesised the rigorous evidence evaluating off-grid electrification interventions and provides policymakers, practitioners and researchers across the sustainable energy field with an updated and comprehensive analysis of the impact of off-grid electrification interventions. Our systematic review synthesised the available rigorous evidence on the effects of off-grid technologies in low- and middle-income countries. We assessed which off-grid interventions are effective at supporting access, climate and socio-economic development outcomes, how these effects vary by region, population and other intervention characteristics and the main challenges and facilitators for interventions to benefit participants. We conducted a systematic search in 18 academic databases and 29 grey literature sources. We supplemented our searches by conducting backward and forward citation tracking, publishing a call for additional studies and contacting subject experts. To identify additional qualitative studies, we performed additional searches for studies related to interventions from our included impact evaluations. We included experimental and quasi-experimental impact evaluations of interventions promoting the use and uptake of off-grid technologies in low- and middle-income countries. Interventions fell into one of four categories: the <i>direct provision</i> of technologies, the <i>opportunity to purchase/market expansion</i> of technologies, <i>subsidies and credit</i> to purchase technologies, <i>information provision</i> promoting the use of technologies. Studies in any language were included, though they must have been published since 2000. We also included qualitative studies to understand the main challenges and facilitators of intervention effectiveness. Quantitative data was extracted for all estimates deemed relevant and the risk of bias for each of these estimates was assessed independently by two reviewers. When data allowed us to do so, we calculated standardised mean differences for results from each study and used random effects meta-analysis to synthesise effectiveness findings for comparable outcomes. We provided forest plots and measures of heterogeneity for all outcomes and tested for publication bias in outcomes with more than 10 effect sizes. When feasible, we conducted moderator analysis to understand how effects varied by intervention characteristics and checked whether results were sensitive to the risk of bias score of estimates.
