Abstract: Relevant systematic reviews and impact evaluations were systematically sought and described in order to assess the size and nature of the evidence-base about the effectiveness of interventions for smallholder farmers in Africa. A total of 21 relevant systematic reviews and 415 reports of impact evaluations were identified. This paper describes this African evidence-base in terms of the interventions and outcomes assessed, and the geographical spread of the primary research across the continent. Gaps in the evidence-base are identified and recommendations made for future research.
