RAI SENGUPTA - gender-transformative evaluation tools

Synthesis of Feminist Evaluation Innovations in Crisis Contexts,

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.

Feminist Evaluation in Crisis Toolkit

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.

Localising Climate Knowledge & Strategies: Perspectives of Small and Marginal Women Farmers from Gujarat

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.

My blog is available at : http://reifiedspeculation.blogspot.com

In sociology and cultural studies, re-appropriation is the cultural process by which a group reclaims—re-appropriates—terms or artifacts that were previously used in a way disparaging of that group.

Rescuing diversity from the gender trap!

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…

Participation in the Real World

After being interviewed for his research, ImpactReady invited Chris Morris, a graduate student, to write up his findings from assessing the level of real participation in humanitarian evaluations.

After assessing a sample of reports and speaking with NGOs and evaluations, Chris concluded that "Evaluators need to be given more leeway to involve communities in all stages of the evaluation. To provide this leeway a different approach to…

How to reflect gender in development, humanitarian, educational and awareness raising projects.

I am excited to be a relatively new Board memeber of an asssociation of evaluators in the Czech Republic - the Czech Evaluation Society (see www.czecheval.cz). So many things are happening, including a new focus on gender!

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.…
