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.

Suggested Approaches to Conduct Impact Assessment Without a Baseline Data
Priya Anand posted a query (https://gendereval.ning.com/forum/topics/impact-assessment-without-...) on 28th September 2015 regarding approaches to conduct impact assessment without a baseline data. A team of three people namely Sirjan Adhikari (Nepal), Solomon Bizualem (Ethiopia) and Ugwuibe Ted C (Nigeria) has summarized the suggested approaches to make a combined references. We hope this will help us and other people in the related subject area.
Summary of Recommended Approaches
1. Comparison of Control and Treatment Group or Cross-sectional Analysis Methods-Propensity Score Matching can be used to select sample groups
2. Document Review/Analysis to reconstruct baseline information/data
3. Participatory Impact Assessment- Tools can be Focus Group Discussion (FGD), Key Informant Interview (KII), SWOT(C) Analysis
4. Regression Analysis can also be used within intervention group by selecting some elements
5. Past and Present Analysis (through KII, FGDs, Document Reviews)
6. Most Significant Change Approach/ Techniques - to identify the changes brought by the use
7. Time-Series/ Longitudinal Analysis

This is very important. we were faced with similar situation where a consultant could not tell us the impact of a programme because he could not get baseline data
