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.

Sharing new paper: What do participatory approaches have to offer the measurement of empowerment of women and girls

Colleagues

 I’m pleased to share with you a new paper providing insight and guidance on the value of participatory approaches that ground measurement of empowerment in lives and perspectives of women and girls. The paper builds on a recent webinar on measuring empowerment of women and girls for the CGIAR Collaborative Platform for Gender Research.

It  also draws on an earlier  on-line consultation with this Gender and Evaluation Communityand the Pelican Platform for evidence-based Learning and Communications for... a while back. 

A huge thank you to all of you who responded during this consultation. Whilst we were not able to use all the examples provided, your  discussions and input really helped to formulate the guidance.

 For the link to the paper:  please see here: https://www.kit.nl/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/KIT-Working-Paper_fin...

Hi Julie, 

Thank you for posting these resources. I haven't been able to access the webinar. After entering the password the page never loads. Is there any other way to access the recording? 

Thanks in advance. 

Best, 

Shawna

Thanks Julie for sharing this publication. Congratulations!

I am a facilitator of participatory approach in research and evaluation. One aspect I reflect on is the idea of ownership. who 'owns' the process? For eg who is collecting data for whom? 

Would love to hear your views on this.
