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.

EvalGender+ launched in Nepal

EvalGender+ was launched during the Global Evaluation Week at the Parliament of Nepal on 25 November 2015 in front of 450+ development professionals and policy makers, including almost 100 Parliamentarians from all over the world.

EvalGender+, a new initiative by EvalPartners, is the global partnership to strengthen national capacities for gender-responsive and equity-focused evaluations. EvalGender+ stands for the SDG’s principle of  “No one left behind”, and is especially concerned with gender equality and social equity and believes that no one should be discriminated on  basis of  gender, race, age, origin, caste or class, ethnicity, location, income or property, language, religion, convictions, opinions, health or disability.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Launch at Parliament of Nepal: Right Honorable Onsari Gharti Magar  (first-ever  woman Speaker of Parliament of Nepal); Hon. Ananda Pokharel (Coordinator of the National Parliamentary Forum for Evaluation, and Minister of Nepal), Hon. Kabir Hashim (Coordinator of the Global Forum of Parliamentarians for Evaluation, and Minister of Sri Lanka), Marco Segone (EvalPartners co-chair, UNEG Chair and Director of Evaluation at UN Women), and Gana Pati Ojha (Chairperson, Community of Evaluators, Nepal and Vice-President, Community of Evaluators South Asia).

 

The process to create Evalgender+

We adopted a process to get as many people possible to reflect on their dreams for Evalgender+. We had an online discussion on Gender and Evaluation community, which got nearly 50 responses in English, French and Spanish. This was followed by a face-to-face meeting during the EvalPartners global forum, where a group of people shared their dreams and compiled a common dream. Thus people from more than 30 countries has contributed to shaping EvalGender+.

 

What is our dream for EvalGender+ by the year 2025?

o   We dream of an equitable society where there is no discrimination

o   Gender-responsive and equity-focused evaluation has been embraced by all and there is no need for EvalGender+

o   Gender and equity lens has been incorporated in all evaluations

o   National governments have mainstreamed gender and are demanding for gender responsive and equity focused evaluation

o   We will have gender responsive national policies informed by evidence from gender-responsive and equity focused evaluations.

o   Communities own tools, methods and approaches of evaluation. We are listening to the voices of the communities.

o   Evaluators have developed skills for advocacy, leadership and communication

o   Local evaluators have developed capacities and are conducting gender-responsive and equity focused evaluations

o   Contractors, donors, governments, Parliamentarians, UN agencies, private sector, civil society organisations (particularly women’s groups and groups of sexual minorities), implementing agencies, academia, communities, municipal bodies and media have all embraced gender-responsive and equity focused evaluation.

Three priorities of EvalGender+ in the coming year:

•      Equity-focused & gender-responsive framework for SDGs

•      Equity-focused & gender-responsive  national evaluation systems

•      We listen to the voice of the communities and  take action accordingly
