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 Colleagues,
This is my #Gender & #Evaluation Wish for 2018. What's yours? Please check out my post and let me hear back from you. You can post your ideas and thoughts on our Community of Practice Website.

LET’S WALK THE GENDER TALK: MY PERSONAL WISH FOR 2018. This morning, I was looking at the new #WorldBank #IEG cartoon calendar devoted to #Water & #Sanitation. I especially liked the picture on the May page: it reminds all of us, in #evaluation too, of how misinterpreted the concepts of #gender #equality and #equity could be. I’ve seen evaluation ToR and inception reports where the gender equality dimension translated into a single and not-so-well-worded evaluation question (generally placed under the #effectiveness #OECD #DAC criterion). Similarly, I have seen evaluation reports where gender equality was mentioned in the methodology section but no specific framework was adopted or any specific measure was taken to « walk the GENDER talk ». In this vein, I truly hope that 2018 will bring much more intentionality and coherence with respect to the inclusion of gender equality in all of our evaluation #deliverables. Likewise, I hope that evaluation commissioners as well as practitioners will start looking at the degree to which the program or policy design (not just implementation) has adequately (or not) integrated gender. To this end, a question on the compliance with the related #UNEG guidelines could be added under the Relevance criterion. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to all of you!
Michele

The Sham of equal participation....
Hello, dear colleagues! Wishing that you have started a wonderful 2018, and thank you Michele for inviting us to think of our wishes for the New Year.
My wish for Gender and Evaluation in 2018 is to continue to demystify the concept of “gender” within the “non-gender” evaluation community, through promoting more and more the arguments that support the application of a gender transformative approach in evaluation: We cannot progress in development if the needs of half of the population are not attended, and if the existing high inequality gaps between men and women persist!
The field of evaluation has an important role in presenting evidences on these inequalities and making visible what is working or not to advance to social justice. Every person in the evaluation community can contribute to this goal from whatever role she or he plays.
That is my wish and dream! I hope to continue working on it from this community.
I fully agree with with our collegue Rituu , with a a quote by Dom Helder Camara: When we are dreaming alone it is only a dream. When we are dreaming with others, it is the beginning of reality.
Is to see how some of the Evaluation findings can be used to influence policy to increase inclusion and participation as drivers to enhance better remuneration and working conditions for women working in cities. And how those conditions can attract males to take up jobs which are predominantly being occupied women to ultimately address poverty disparities especially in Uganda. A recent Report shows unemployment among women at 65% of the 38 Million Ugandans. Important to note is that Uganda has more women than men.
Dear Colleagues,
Great to read your comments on some of the issues that I raised in my original post. I really liked Vidhya's note encouraging all of us to shift from "inclusion" to "centering". That resonates very well with a topic that I discussed on a variety of online fora in the past: the need for evaluation practitioners and funders to shift from "functional capacity building" to "transformative capacity development". If you would like to have more details, feel free to read the related article that I presented during my keynote speech at the African Evaluation Association Conference in Cameroun in 2014. To download the article, click on the following link: Tarsilla's Article on ECD (2014)
I look forward to hearing from more members of our community on their respective "gender and evaluation" wishes for 2018!
Once again, Happy New Year to all!
Michele
Wonderful Vidhya! Please could you elaborate on I would like to center (not just include)
Thanks Emebet for your response to Michele. What are you going to do this year to address the concern you have raised? Warm new year greetings!
