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.

This is a very nice video to introduce people to the core concepts. I'm part of a small discussion group (we jokingly call ourselves "Impactivists") and I'll show this to them the next time we get together. I particularly like that the focus is on "equal participation", which allows the core ideas to be applied beyond gender to other unheard and silences voices as well. If the aim is equal participation for "shared prosperity" then that can be a clarifying beacon. However, can we move the conversation beyond economic and financial impact? We don't want prosperity at all costs (pardon the pun). Prosperous but silo-ed, competitive, angry, and divisive isn't worth it, frankly. Can we be more nuanced in the kind of prosperity we envision?

Dear Zorayda and Caroline,

Congrats for this video! I think it is really useful for training and for advocacy.

Best regards,

Dear All,

I have watched the brief video of the IEG Director General Caroline Heider on mainstreaming gender in evaluation. And I would like sharing some insights with the hope that they are useful:

Data collection and limitations: in conducting a study on the โ€˜Womenโ€™s Allocation of Time in India, Indonesia, and Chinaโ€™, I have gathered data and information through Time Use Surveys (TUSs). These were done in detail in India but they were not complete in Indonesia and China. So I have had to draw conclusions taking into consideration the poor quality and quantity of gender data and information available.

Gender equal teams: having had the privilege and pleasure to serve the United Nations has allowed me to work with both women and men. And understand how much we can benefit from each other in terms of learning, knowledge sharing, different perspectives, and professional and personal growth. So I have always thought that more men should be included in gender programs as, in some cases, they still need to see the benefits of collaboration with us. And there is nothing better than evidence based assessments for decision making.

My questions are: (1) how can evaluators help countries include gender statistics in their national programs, and (2) how can we, as women, encourage men to work, learn, and grow with us?

Thank you for posting such inspiring video.

Warmly,

Laura Gagliardone
