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.

Dear Mark

Yes I agree that one of the key message- not on the slide- is to assess whether and how institutions and norms have changed in favour of women and oppressed groups, and not so much what program does. 

I have added a slide to my the ppt complete. Would be grateful to have your email to send it to you

You have a sharp eye and brain!!!

Warmth

Ranjani

I attended this talk and was both impressed and motivated to apply some of these methods in my own work. One of my favorite messages from the presentation that isn't listed on the slides was the notion that if we are interested in seeing changes to systems and root causes, we should focus more on evaluating how programs have impacted systems, and where more effort is needed, rather than focusing so much on the details of what the program does. Programs will continue adapting to what is necessary for the context, but can only do so effectively if we keep evaluating the context.
