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.

Evaluation Frameworks or Guidelines to evaluate programs for Adolescent High Risk Girls

Dear Friends

I am writing to explore if any of our members are aware of evaluation frameworks or guidelines for evaluating programs that work with adolescents, particularly girls at high risk.

The Community of Evaluators South Asia, in partnership with Feminist Evaluators Network South Asia’s secretariat ISST (Institute of Social Studies Trust) and Positive Women’s Network India (PWN+) have been exploring the lived realities of high risk adolescent girls in several parts of India to acquire a better and more nuanced understanding of the engendered self in highly vulnerable communities of girls (HIV+ or affected girls, girl children of sex workers, stigmatized girls because of caste, class, trafficked girls and child brides). We have been generously supported by an EvalPartners Innovation Challenge Award.

We are in the process of analyzing our findings and wanted to use the evidence to develop evaluation guidelines that would inform decision makers. Any help in directing us to available evaluation guidelines for adolescents and preferably girls would be greatly appreciated.

Thanking you in advance,

Sonal Zaveri

Dear Sonal

There is need to innovate a qualitative method to evaluate adolescent  health program. Honestly speaking adoelscent health program is in nascent stage and coverage in public health is very weak. Private sector is  not evaluated as  there is not systematic  mapping of private sector in health sector. Also phase out of the adolescent phase in particular  high risk phase (14-19 years ) is very  transient in nature. 

I look forward to a discussion on  qualitative  method  framework for the evaluation in this forum.

Happy Holi to all
