Often I am asked to plan, train or evaluate programs from a gender lens. The organisation’s gender policy and guidelines are given to me, and I am asked to keep these in mind while carrying out my tasks. Unfortunately, many policies and guidelines (often generated by donors) focus on gender relations in isolation, and do not take into account that they interlock with other power relations like race, caste, class, abilities, sexual orientation or gender identity to marginalise…

About a year ago, I have been engaged in a debate of Czech evaluators if “non-tangible” aspects such as gender can be monitored and evaluated. So I wrote this blog.... and add some toolkits.…
