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.

Meet Like-Minded People for Social Experiences
Exploring a new city can be exciting, but meeting people who share your interests is not always easy. Travelers and newcomers may know where the popular attractions are, yet still struggle to find friendly people to talk to, explore with, or share memorable experiences. Language differences, unfamiliar surroundings, busy schedules, and a lack of local connections can make socializing more difficult than expected.
EscortNation.co helps simplify this part of city discovery by bringing useful destination information and social opportunities together in one organized platform. Instead of spending hours searching through unrelated websites, users can explore city-specific resources and discover ways to connect with people who may have similar interests, travel plans, or social expectations.
Find People Who Match Your Interests
A meaningful social experience is not simply about meeting someone new. Compatibility matters. You may be interested in sightseeing, trying local food, learning about culture, attending events, having conversations, or simply enjoying friendly company while discovering a destination.
For example, travelers researching muscat escorts may want to meet people who can make exploring Muscat more comfortable and enjoyable. Someone visiting for the first time might appreciate local insights, recommendations for interesting places, or friendly company during their free time. Having relevant information beforehand can make it easier to decide what type of social experience suits your plans.
Make Communication Clear From the Start
One of the easiest ways to avoid misunderstandings is to communicate openly before meeting. Consider discussing your interests, preferred activities, availability, and expectations in advance. Clear communication helps both people understand what they are comfortable with and whether their plans are compatible.
It is also important to respect personal boundaries. A positive social experience should be based on mutual respect, consent, honesty, and comfortable communication. Nobody should feel pressured to continue an interaction that does not feel right.
Understand the Local Culture
When meeting people in an unfamiliar destination, cultural awareness is equally important. Social customs, communication styles, clothing expectations, and acceptable behavior can differ from one city or country to another. Taking time to understand local traditions can help you avoid uncomfortable situations and show respect to the people and communities you encounter.
Choose Experiences That Feel Right for You
Not everyone travels for the same reason. Some people want to build friendships, others want a social companion for sightseeing, while some simply want to meet new people and exchange experiences. There is no single approach that works for everyone.
Before making plans, consider what you actually want from the experience and choose interactions that align with your comfort level. Avoid making rushed decisions based only on limited information.
EscortNation.co aims to make this process easier by helping users discover organized city information and opportunities for social connection. With thoughtful planning, honest communication, cultural awareness, and respect for boundaries, meeting like-minded people can become a rewarding part of discovering a new destination.
