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

There are many strategies organisations can employ to mobilise resources for improved service delivery. Often, organisations grapple with allocation of meagre resources to accomplish their goals. This may lead to reliance on singular funding streams, which are provided over limited time periods. Successful organisations are finding ways to work with markets and help businesses "do well while doing good."

In this training, we will discuss how organisations can influence business practices, build partnerships, and develop earned income ventures; all ways of leveraging market forces to achieve social change on a broader scale.

At the end of this course, you will: 

  • Understand the essential components of an integrated fundraising plan.
  • Have worked on the building blocks of the fundraising plan (SWOT, P/C matrix, Case for Support, Donor Map).
  • Understand different types of funders and their motivations.
  • Have ideas of how to scan and map in your country/region for international fundraising opportunities.
  • Have put together a resource mobilisation plan for your organisation or network.

Your Profile

You are a fundraiser, business development officer, programme/project manager and professional, director or line manager with fundraising responsibilities, or a consultant/adviser.
