Claudy Vouhé shared GRB in local authorities (French)
Gender-Responsive Budgeting (GRB) shows that the development of a budget and budgetary choices are powerful levers in terms of gender equality. We share our lessons learned in the field: a 5-step method, concrete examples (culture, sport, subsidies, public procurement, etc.) and keys to success. An operational work to objectify the impact of public policies and budgets and make RHL accessible.
Anuradha Kapoor Shared Swayam Recent Published Study
This exploratory study foregrounds the largely invisible issue of natal family violence (NFV) in India, exploring its forms, prevalence, and deep, long-term impacts on women's lives. It challenges the myth of the natal home as a safe space and centres survivor voices and lived experiences. The findings expose systemic silences and institutional barriers to justice. It offers vital insights for policy reform, feminist praxis, and deeper societal reflection.

Tara Prasad Gnyawali - Narrative
My flashback to working with wildlife-affected communities living in a biological transboundary corridor in Bardiya, Nepal, where I spent my golden 15 years. This story reflects changes that demonstrate how a community's tolerance extends to coexistence, and that is only due to the well-integrated planning of Ecotourism opportunities for the community.

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
