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.

Your inputs on Outcome Mapping, Gender and Equity proposed resource

Dear colleagues, 

Please do pass this on to your networks. We are looking for those who use OM (fully or partly) and can contribute to the resource. We will be acknowledging all who contribute. Please take a moment for the email and do fill in the attached form. Your inputs are extremely valued and appreciated! 

From Heidi Schaeffer, OMLC Learning Community Steward

 

Sonal Zaveri and I are working on a practical resource to strengthen capacity across the OMLC to embed equity and gender-transformative thinking and practice in Outcome Mapping.  This resource is aimed at field-level practitioners using OM, or with experience and interest in the use of OM to strengthen equity and gender transformative change. The resource will include guidance and case examples derived in part from conversations with OMLC members. Several OMLC members are participating as part of the research and collaboration group, at this point including: Julius Nyangaga, Florence Etta and Sarah Earl. If you have any questions or want to become involved with the resource please complete the survey as a first step and let us know your interests.

 

The survey is designed for practitioners who have tried to incorporate equity, anti-racism/anti-oppression and gender transformative approaches in their use of Outcome Mapping during M&E design and evaluation. 

We invite you to take about 15 minutes (there are only 9 questions) to share your experiences, challenges and successes.  Your contributions are sincerely appreciated. With your permission your name will be acknowledged in the resource. If you are interested, you may be able to share your experience in a webinar for the OMLC later this year.  Thank you for your time and support of this work.

 

Please complete this survey by Wednesday June 30th   https://forms.gle/mA8rY14E7zASXigT6

 

You can write to Simon Hearn, coordinator@outcomemapping.ca  if you have any questions about the survey.

 

Please do respond... we are co-creating a valuable resource!

Best

Sonal and Heidi
