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.

Advocacy and systems change evaluation call resources

Hi everyone!

Recently during discussion on the Pelican list around the inadequacy of traditional M&E approaches methods for advocacy and transformative change efforts a number of calls were proposed to dig deeper into the issues. I just wanted to share here a few resources (and thank you to Rituu for suggesting!)

All best!

Catherine

Hi Catherine,

I did a long term project -baseline and endline with Participatory action research on topic of evaluation. it was with sex workers in India and Cambodia for IDRC. Here is the link https://idl-bnc-idrc.dspacedirect.org/bitstream/handle/10625/49837/... 

We focused on measuring shift in advocacy strategies from reactive to proactive strategies
with a potential impact on the lives and wellbeing of 70,000 sex workers.
 Transformation in human rights documentation processes carried out by partners
which included evidence gathering and analysis on violence against sex-workers and
visualisations of this evidence.
 Growth in knowledge of the importance of effective information management in
digital documentation.
 Insight into community-owned and aggregated data given a growing, global
movement towards open data for accountability and transparency.
 Development of integrated self-evaluation tools which will continue to be used by
partners.
 Contribution to the scholarship on on violence against sex-workers and advocacy for
their human rights.
