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.

Africa Is Ageing, but Are Health Systems Ready? Rethinking Care for Older Adults

By 2050, one in ten Africans will be over 60. Ghana alone expects its elderly population to hit 6 million, nearly triple today's number. That's not a distant demographic footnote; it's a health system stress test that's already underway. And new evidence from rural Ghana suggests we're not ready for it.

The numbers are already showing up at the front desk

A recent analysis of three years of hospital records (2020โ€“2022) found thatโ€ฆ

Meet Like-Minded People for Social Experiences

Exploring a new city can be exciting, but meeting people who share your interests is not always easy. Travelers and newcomers may know where the popular attractions are, yet still struggle to find friendly people to talk to, explore with, or share memorable experiences. Language differences, unfamiliar surroundings, busy schedules, and a lack of local connections can make socializing more difficult than expected.โ€ฆ

Co-Creating Health Systems and Policies with Older Africans for a Healthy Ageing Future

Every health system reform aimed at Africa's ageing population tends to start the same way: experts count the elderly, tally their diseases, and propose a fix. Train more geriatricians. Build more clinics. Strengthen the data systems. All necessary but all built on an assumption worth questioning: that we already know what older people actually need.

We don't, not really. And the fastest way to find out isn't another top-down needs assessment. It's co-production: sitting down withโ€ฆ
