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.

Video clips from the 7th African Evaluation Association (AfrEA) conference in Yaoundé, Cameroon

The 7th African Evaluation Association (AfrEA) Conference was held in Yaoundé, Cameroon from March 3 – 7, 2014. The conference brought together evaluators from across Africa and around the world. The first two days of the conference were dedicated to interactive workshops while the latter three days showcased presentations from a variety of topics.

In an effort to increase access to the cutting-edge evaluation knowledge being shared at the conference, the conference organizers decided to record and live-stream select sessions and workshops online to participants around the world. The webcasting team live-streamed and/or record selected workshops and sessions from most of the strands throughout the conference. The live-streaming allowed individuals from around the world to watch sessions in real-time from their computer. In addition to live-streaming and recorded sessions, the team also interviewed several presenters and participants about their role and experiences at AfrEA. Workshop and session presenters were excited to share their knowledge with the online community around the world.

Recorded interviews with conference presenters and participants provide a small window into the experience of the 2014 AfrEA conference attendees. The interviewees provide a glimpse into the breadth of topics discussed at AfrEA and their current thinking about some of the critical topics discussed during the conference. Among the topics the interviewees found most important at this year’s conference were: The continuing growth in the growing institutionalization of Voluntary Organizations for Professional Evaluation (VOPEs) in Africa, the importance of country-led vs. donor-driven evaluation models, and the ever-growing need for high quality capacity building initiatives in Africa.

Additionally, the team was able to capture the exceptional cultural presentation put on by the conference organizers. As AfrEA is held in a different country each time, the cultural component is a great educational experience for all attendees. This year’s presentation featured an amazing display of dancing, live music, physical talents, and even a stand-up comedy act.

Please share the videos below far and wide! In addition, if you have any conference experiences you would like to share now that we have all had some time to reflect, it would be great to hear your thoughts in the comments section.
