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.

A few takeaways on day 3 of Eval week & photo of the day
Photo of the day- I was able to catch on camera- Marco Segone, A K Shiva Kumar and Yamini Atmavilas in front of the Gender and Evaluation community poster:-)
Key learnings
Dr Rajib Nandi’s presentation on India Feminist Evaluation groups learning over the past two year evoked many questions like
What is the difference between feminist and gender-responsive and equity focused evaluation?The word evaluator sounds like external policing. What about community?
Vimala Ramachandran, National University of Educational Planning and Administration
She listed equity issues she came across during meta evaluation of India's flagship programme for achievement of Universalization of Elementary Education. This will give you an idea of how to use gender and equity lens in evaluation.Gender is equated with girls and boys have been excluded from the conversation. The Joint review mission evaluations have been weak in analysis when it comes to various socio-economic factors such as occupation, family income, caste religion and education level of parents. Many girls schools do not offer science subjects.
Howard White from 3 ie mentioned types of bias in evaluation- selection bias, study bias (Having genuine mixed methods is a challenge), agency bias, respondent bias, Evaluator bias, Friends bias.
Marco Segone – Challenges to Gender and equity focused evaluations. Here are two slides from him. He also facilitated a discussion amongst participants. Will type them out and share with you.
