RAI SENGUPTA - gender-transformative evaluation tools

This synthesis draws on evidence from 17 humanitarian evaluations across diverse crisis settings. It identifies key feminist evaluation innovations across four domains - design, methods, analysis, and ethics - illustrating how feminist principles can be embedded throughout the evaluation process. It also surfaces broader shifts required at policy, institutional, and practice levels to realise the transformative potential of feminist approaches in humanitarian contexts.

The toolkit translates these insights into applied guidance for evaluators and organisations. It provides step-by-step support across the full evaluation cycle, including planning, design, methods, analysis, ethics, and dissemination. Drawing on global feminist evaluation practice, humanitarian guidance, and gender evaluation standards, it includes adaptable tools, participatory and arts-based methods, guiding questions, and templates for field application.

UTTHAN - Research Report

Traversing the path with women farmers in their fields and in our reflections/writings, a stark observation was the sheer lack of localized and regional vocabulary and terminology to adequately capture and communicate the understanding of climate change and mitigation strategies, informed by the unique experiences and needs of small and marginal women farmers. This is what propelled our research - to examine how women farmers perceive, express, experience, and respond to climate variability across

Our Research Report centres the lived experiences, generational knowledge, and resilience strategies of small and marginal women farmers from the coastal (Bhavnagar) and hilly (Dahod & Panchmahal) regions i.e two contrasting agro-climatic zones of Gujarat. Through their voices, the study reveals exactly how climate change intersects with gender, land rights, labour burdens, and food security.

Event Description

New course! Learn how to keep track of progress and measure effects in changing contexts

Changes generated by advocacy- and policy-influencing interventions are among the most difficult results to measure. Many actors with different or contradicting interests are often involved. Results mostly appear in the long run. Policy targets and media trends can change rapidly. Your advocacy tactics need adaptation accordingly, and flexibility is crucial. Your M&E system should be able to handle these changes. Knowing the crucial elements to monitor will make data gathering easier and your evaluation analyses more effective.


What you will gain

  • Discover and learn how to work with different evaluation methods to monitor advocacy initiatives
  • Use your design and planning of policy-influencing intervention as a starting point of your M&E system
  • Keep record and track of relevant stakeholders, targets and policy decision-making chains
  • Learn to create evaluation interventions showing the results of the advocacy projects that you have funded
  • Be able to present results in a confident way and impress your clients with innovative approaches

Your profile

You are a professional involved in the planning or management of advocacy projects or programmes, or in charge of coordinating the monitoring and evaluation of such programmes. This course is also interesting for evaluators conducting evaluations of advocacy projects or programmes, or those in charge of appraising advocacy programmes on behalf of a donor organisation.
