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.

Renuji, wow! I'm already looking forward to this report :)
I must say an evaluation when conducted in a participatory mode brings out gems of information as no one hesitates to share their experiences then.

Thanks Rituu and Sanghamitra.
You want to know about an evaluation that I found transformative both for myself and the evaluatees.... well, the last one that I did for HAQ and its partners on Prevention of Child Marriage. I learnt a lot about an issue that I had not engaged with viz. child marriage/Early Marriage/Forced Marriage. I was so impressed and inspired by the football team that Jabala has nurtured over the years - girls who resisted marriage sometimes even going through physical violence as a consequence. Their stories of resistance left me in awe of their courage and determination to pursue their own paths. It was a humbling experience. And the partners I believe learnt a lot from the participatory processes of evaluation - they could see their own programmes from a distance, because of my questions and the daily debriefing that we did. We did an exercise of looking at the issue of Child Marriage from multiple perspectives - child rights, sexual and reproductive rights, adolescents rights, feminism. There was so much excitement at making connections. And everyone was on a high at the end of this process.... We are writing about this evaluation in the compendium on feminist evaluations that ISST is bringing out so read more when it is ready.
Waiting for more comments. Renu

Dear Renuji,
Thanks for the crisp presentation...enjoyed it. You mention how the evaluation can be transformative for both those being evaluated as well as the evaluator. This particularly resonated with me. Please can you share an experience of an evaluation on the above. Also what kind of methodology can contribute to transformative and empowering evaluation? Thanks!
Warm greetings
Rituu
