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.

My article in World Development Symposium
Dear friends,
World Development, the leading academic journal of development studies has published an Inaugural Symposium on RCTs in Development and Poverty Alleviation
under the leadership of its editor Arun Agarwal, to recognize the work and contributions of the joint winners of the 2019 Nobel prize for Economics - Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo, and Michael Kremer.
Interestingly, the Symposium wanted to capture diverse voices either in support of or critical of experimental approaches, but based on scholarly reasoning and evidence including reflections on one’s own empirical work.
I took the opportunity to submit an article that represents a practitioner-evaluator viewpoint and discusses much of the work we evaluators are passionate about. World Development received 100 abstract submissions and finally accepted 52 submissions. The Symposium is amazing in the variety of perspectives and I am happy that my ‘voice’ was heard. I learned a lot regarding getting the abstract accepted and writing for this journal. I am convinced more than ever that we, evaluators, need to make bridges with other disciplines and sectors and learn to explain our craft better.
The World Development Symposium has articles from prominent thinkers so please do check it out. https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/world-development/special-iss...
My article is available at this link (open access till February 7, 2020) https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1aFh0,6yxDAYSu
Feel free to share it through your network!
Best wishes for the new year,
Sonal Zaveri
