Evidence snapshot for Peru
Peru's evidence base shows mixed results across gender, connectivity, and education initiatives. Electoral gender parity reform raised women in Congress from 27.7% to 38.2% by 2021, while joint land titling increased women's household decision-making participation by 5–15 points in highland regions. On connectivity, 3.1 million rural Peruvians across 16,700+ localities gained broadband access through the wholesale 4G network, and 86% of tracked tech bootcamp graduates achieved employment at roughly double the minimum wage. However, the nationwide One Laptop per Child programme showed sobering results for academic test scores in a randomised evaluation across 319 rural schools, indicating that technology provision alone does not guarantee learning gains.
