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.

Outcome harvesting is like investigative Journalism!
I use Outcome harvesting in my work. My takeaways from the presentations by Anna Martin Sharon Weir Jennifer Compton which has strengthened my understanding.
1. Anna noted that OH is a rigorous methodology, well suited to adaptive, complexity-aware systems. In any social change, most of the change is complex. Sharing an example of a vaccination programme, Anna said that one can measure uptake through surveys. But what drives a change in vaccination rates is complex : not only availability of vaccines, but also gender norms, transport, who takes the decisions etc
2. She observed that OH very on timing. It can be built into a programme , applied after an evaluation, or used much later to understand change, particularly unintended outcomes. It's especially useful where there's no baseline, or where the intervention keeps evolving. Outcome Harvesting accommodates that easily.
3. The method itself is used to describe change in a rigorous manner after it has occurred.
4. But OH cannot be be done quickly. It is relationship-based, you need to speak to a lot of people. What it does not require is a large database or a heavy set of tools.
5. The strength of OH, in Sharon's view, is that you can listen to different parts of the system. She shared about a maternal health programme. As a result of the programme, the daughter-in-law reported she could now visit the health centre on her own. Mothers-in-law felt the daughters-in-law were challenging established norms. Health services staff felt the programme allowed them to reach many hard-to-reach mothers.
There was also an example on mental health. Parents said their children had become very sensitive to these issues. The children felt they had become more aware, and were now thinking about where to access support. Thus outcomes emerge that weren't in the original theory of change, and what looks like progress to one stakeholder can feel very different to another.
6. Participants asked how much time needs to be allocated for Outcome Harvesting . Jennifer answered that it depends on how deep you want to go to get the complete picture of change.
7. An example of #Outcomeharvesting where The Constellation - Community Life Competence work on behaviour change and community-led was evaluated by Michael J. Steffens, PhD https://lnkd.in/d5gPgMFh
