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.

Hi Ms. Murthy,

I thank you for addressing such question which I am going to answer (briefly) below. By the way, my opinion does not reflect that of the UN Global Compact but it is just based on my own knowledge and strategic thinking.

I am going to follow some of the key points of the ‘WEPs Tool: Questionnaire’. I think that the main challenges for implementation are (one or a combination of):

  1. Lack of leadership commitment and support for gender equality and women’s empowerment
  2. Lack of non-discrimination and equal opportunity policies
  3. Prejudices in the recruitment processes
  4. Biases in assessing employees’ capacity and performance
  5. Lack of opportunities for professional development, promotion, and growth for women
  6. Lack of access to learning opportunities
  7. Lack of M&E to make sure that women and men are compensated equally for the same work
  8. Lack of opportunities for paid maternity and paternity leave
  9. Outdated mentality at various levels of the organization
  10. Lack of attention to and interest in employees’ work-life balance
  11. Lack of transparency, integrity and work ethics within the organization
  12. Lack of access to learning opportunities.

Which are your thoughts?

Have a nice day,

Laura Gagliardone

Dear Laura

Thanks for the same. 

What do you think would be the challenges to adapting it to UN, government or NGO context?

Best
