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

*Apologies for cross-posting*

I would like to invite the Gender and Evaluation online community members to participate in a major online global conference entitled ‘Decolonising Development: Whose Voice? Whose Agenda?’, which will take place from 22nd to 24th May 2017. See link to pre-conference blog here where we can start the discussion: http://cgd.leeds.ac.uk/2017/04/04/online-conference-decolonising-development-whose-voice-whose-agenda/

The conference builds on research and current debates that critically assess the growing faith in multi-stakeholder development partnerships to achieve the SDGs. Research undertaken amongst CGD members and INTRAC and the Task Team on CSO Development Effectiveness and Enabling Environment in diverse development contexts exposes the complex power dynamics and contradictions often inherent in multi-stakeholder initiatives.
The research raises fundamental questions of why we ‘do’ development’; who decides what development is; what types of development we are arguably feeling forced into promoting; and what type of development we want to see.

We feel it is time to widen the debate and bring together a diverse group of participants from development practice, policy and research to discuss these issues in a safe space and identify innovative strategies for ‘doing development differently’. We anticipate that a key output from the conference will be a high-profile publication.

The conference will be organised around three interlinked themes:
Power, voice and inclusion
Accountability, evidence and impact
Partnership and capacity-building

During the conference key contributors will lead two hour sessions, posting initial short think pieces to stimulate dynamic discussion among the participants around each theme.

It is simple and free to participate in the conference. We will be sending out a conference agenda and instructions on how to join the conference group in the next two weeks. Technical support will be available before and during the conference, should you need it.

Please could you let me know by Friday 5 May 2017 whether you would like to participate, and copy your response to decolonisingdevelopment@gmail.com.

If you have any questions please get in touch.

Best wishes
Lata
