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.

Women Leading from the front at the Evaluation Society of Kenya (ESK)
The Evaluation Society of Kenya just concluded a successful two-day Outcome Mapping Training Workshop, sponsored in collaboration with the Monitoring and Evaluation Department (MED) of the Ministry of Devolution and Planning of the Government of the Republic of Kenya and Right Track Africa.
Leading by example... The workshop was facilitated by an Outcome Mapping Learning Community Steward, Julius Nyangaga. As can be seen from the pictures of the participants, Women have decided to lead by example... These are the ones "to shape the Gender Agenda in Evaluation post-2015", even as we prepare for the official launch of EvalGender+ in Nepal in November... But they are not alone... The men MUST also play their part!
The induction session covered the following areas:
1. Defining the Outcome Mapping and Outcome Harvesting philosophies. Comparing the approach to other project management methods highlighting its strengths and weaknesses;
2. Going through the Outcome Mapping steps, giving a clear explanation behind each concept and how it is best applied. Using case examples to support understanding;
3. Showing or demonstrating monitoring journals/tools and evaluation reports that have been used to apply outcome mapping.
The key gender message from the training, beyond Outcome Mapping, was that women are not to be left behind. They are a critical cog in the wheel of shaping the Gender Agenda in Evaluation Post-2015. And clearly, the members of the Evaluation Society of Kenya (ESK) have confirmed this by leading from the front!
The training was facilitated by one of the Outcome Mapping Greats... Julius Nyangaga...
Julius is currently the CEO and a senior consultant for Right Track Africa http://righttrack.co.ke, a consortium of professionals in Kenya established in October 2013 to provide services in Strategy Development, Business Development Services, and Monitoring and Evaluation. Julius is also a Steward of the Outcome Mapping learning Community (OMLC) http://www.outcomemapping.ca, a global, informal, open membership network for sharing information and facilitating learning on using Outcome Mapping.

Thanks for sharing Ponge! I have never used OM but would love to learn. Would you have any example or experience to share where OM can bring out gender and equity lens?

Governments in third world countries do not even have the departments of monitoring , they should learn from kenya and take the steps to establish monitoring departments.

Dear Cecilia,
Thank you for your kind words. The training was an introductory course for beginners in Outcome Mapping, but definitely it was laced with examples from past assignments on Outcome Mapping, which were not that detailed to pass for 'Best Practices on Outcome Mapping'. I would like to refer you to http://www.outcomemapping.ca/resource/omlc where certainly you will get a very rich resource of best practices. It would be ideal to register as an online member at OMLC to benefit maximally!
Most welcome!

Well done Ponge.
Do you have any stories on 'best practices' or lessons learnt on Outcome Mapping?
Cecilia
