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.

Thank you very much for your approach.I absolutely agree with you, foremost to the fact that recommendations and lessons learned sometimes does not use for stakeholders and decision makers.

On the other hand, I consider that attitudes and strong thoughts within institutions and organizations, for instance related to traditional roles between women and men, delaying women´s advancement avoiding to obtain better outcomes; as a result, they are not ready to apply this knowledge and putting in practice, when it comes to the crunch. In sum, evaluation must be a learning process...

And as you mentioned "Use evaluation to create social change".

Warm regards!

Paloma

Thank you very much Sonal for your guidance. This was very helpful and has incited me to explore and discover more.

Hi Florence, 

If you want to learn more about UFE, there is a lot of information at evaluationandcommunicationinpractice.net

I echo your frustration about the end-line evaluations. Identifying the key user (s) is key and not to be mistaken with an audience. Users will vary depending on the purpose, intended use and key questions you need answered! So identifying the User is an iterative process - and well worth the time spent doing so. Hope this helps!

Best wishes

Sonal

Thank you very much for sharing, am so impressed and interested in learning more about UFE.

As a development worker am so challenged about involvement of users in an evaluation especially when most of the evaluations are done as end-line. Who are the users anyway?
