The problem
Intervention: A range of violence-prevention programs targeting economic strengthening, teachers/schools, whole families, caregivers only, or children only
Who it was tested with: Children in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Children or communities are compared with a group that did not receive the intervention, or followed over years. This is the design that best separates what the intervention did from everything else that changed.
[tier lowered: the text shows no before-and-after measurement] "we identified 45 articles that reported on results from 22 programs that seek to reduce violence against children in SSA" — this indicates a review-of-reviews approach without a single consistent study design, so a lower evidence tier and confidence are assigned.
As a synthesis review, it does not detail the individual study designs, sample sizes, or whether each underlying study used a comparison group, making it impossible to assess the rigor of each program's evidence individually.
