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

Discussion question: What role can mobile technology play in assessing learners' progress and attendance monitoring in low-resource settings?  

Despite huge strides being made in access to education, this has not transpired into learning for all. While we would very much like to include a killer fact here on exactly how many children are in school and are not learning, the truth is that nobody is quite sure.

In the upcoming webinar, Sarah Pouezevara (RTI International) and Mike Dawson (Ustad Mobile) will discuss how they are leveraging mobile technology to assess learners’ progress and monitor attendance in low-resource settings. 

Presenters

Sarah Pouezevara – Sr. eLearning Specialist, RTI International

Topic Using Tangerine(TM) to capture learning (and teaching!) progress in low-resource settings.

Profile Sarah was one of the original designers of the Tangerine data collection system, which is widely used for large-scale early grade reading and math assessments in low-resource contexts.  Over the past 6 years, since its first use in Liberia in 2010, it has evolved to serve many purposes apart from sample-based data collection. I

Mike Dawson – CEO Ustad Mobile

Topic Real-time school monitoring (India)

Profile

Mike is the CEO and co-founder of Ustad Mobile; a social enterprise that develops low-cost technology  to empower educators.  Mike has over 9 years of experience in education technology for low income area including 7 years in Afghanistan.
