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.

CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST IN EVALUATION OF THE SECURITY ASSESSMENT IN NORTH AFRICA

CLOSING DATE: 18 DECEMBER 2017


The Security Assessment in North Africa (SANA) - a multi-year project of the Small Arms Survey - will be undertaking an evaluation in March next year.  The Call for Expressions of Interest is attached - if you are interested please reply by midnight Geneva time, 18th December. Reply details are in the Call document.  If you have colleagues who may be interested please forward the Call document.  At this stage the aim is to identify a person or small team to do the evaluation.

Gender is important in small arms and light weapons issues: the Small Arms Survey would welcome interest from Gender and Evaluation forum participants.

This evaluation work has some specific requirements - in particular the language skills - but the Survey can be flexible about most aspects.  We don’t expect that one person, or a small team, will necessarily be able to bring all the different skills we are seeking: evaluation experience, knowledge of both the North African context, and of small arms and light weapons and their illegal proliferation. Equally, while we would like an Outcome Harvesting approach, if you have expertise in another methodology that would also be suitable, please don't hesitate to get in touch.  

Once we have identified a suitable person, or team, we will work with them to finalize the Terms of Reference.  The Small Arms Survey staff will provide support and backstopping as required.

We look forward to hearing from anyone interested and are happy to answer questions sent to MEL@smallarmssurvey.org
