Evaluating our work through a power lens

by Barbara Klugman

Jan 14

Colleagues, I thought you might find interesting this learning brief put together by a number of groups who participated in Comic Relief's Power Up peer learning initiative. It describes a few very different ways of addressing power in evaluation - one by an organisation's constituents; the other by a funder. It is attached but also at

Both drew on a framework I put together drawing on work of other feminists on how to identify different dimensions of power in movement-building and advocacy, which is also in the doc.

With best wishes for the year,

    Hi Barbara,

    I wanted to express my gratitude for sharing such an interesting and useful tool for evaluators. It not only provides valuable insights but also helps feminists identify various dimensions of power in movement-building and advocacy. Thanks for making this document available!

    Warm Regards,

    ISST Team
