Story of a lady bike rider and women development: Organizers should go to the roots

Every morning one lady bike rider passes me when my bus gets stuck in the jam on the way to my office. She goes ahead to her destination by driving her Scooty easily and naturally on the wide and narrow spaces on the road as like as a man. Every day when I see her I give her a salute and admire her courage because it is Bangladesh, a moderate Islamic country by the constitution, where a big part of the people do not support from their mind to let the women go out from home for working…

Guidelines for Measuring Results in Women's Economic Empowerment

I thought this network might be interested in some new guidance produced by the DCED: Guidelines for Measuring Results in Women's Economic Empowerment.

Drawing on good practices and lessons learned from Making Markets Work for the Chars (M4C) and the Alliances Lesser Caucasus Programme (ALCP) in Georgia, the guidelines in particular offer suggestions for measuring…

Are gender-sensitive evaluations and feminist evaluations different?

In evaluation conferences, at times I hear "I do feminist evaluations, and not gender evaluations". Feminist evaluation places issues of power at the center of defining scope of evaluation, evaluation process and, how findings are used.  They look at intersections between gender and identities, and examine how the project/programme change social structures. Gender evaluations do not deal with issues of power and structures"

Having been taught about gender relations through reading…

Wish I had done this 11 years ago

Greetings from Beautiful Boise!

My new guest blog post on communicating with policymakers was published this morning by the Evaluation Capacity Development Group (ECDG).

I believe communication is probably one of the most important and challenging aspects of my job as the director of a legislative evaluation shop.  Policymakers are busy folks with many competing things on their minds.  Getting their attention isn’t easy. Having worked for them for so many years, I thought they…

Why Are Evaluators So Tentative about the Advocacy Aspect of Our Profession?

My mother used to say that where there are two or more people, there will always be politics over resources. Because evaluations involve making judgments about prioritization, distribution, and use of resources, evaluations will always be inherently political.

Greetings! I am Rakesh Mohan, director of the Office of Performance Evaluations (OPE), an independent agency of the Idaho Legislature. This year our office is celebrating 20…
