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.

Evidence on gender equity and inclusion towards women’s empowerment: A reflection on lessons and challenges
Evaluation community of India with CareIndia iorganised a Webinar entitled "Evidence on gender equity and inclusion towards women's empowerment: A reflection on lessons and challenges" under the glocal evalweek 2020 on 4th June 2020 at 5.30 PM (IST). (see more on glocal evalweek: https://www.glocalevalweek.org/)
Gender issues in development not only relate to ensuring access to opportunities and resources to women but also call for a change in stereotype mindset and behaviour towards women and other genders. Gender equality lies at the heart of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which recognizes that achieving gender equality is a matter of human rights and is crucial to progress across all the goals and targets.
While being a goal in its own right, gender cuts across all 17 Sustainable Development Goals and is reflected in 45 targets and 54 indicators for the SDGs. Evidence shows that gender inclusion is critical to achieving a wide range of objectives pertaining to sustainable development. Recurring obstacles in activity design and implementation include: lack of attention to gender issues in design, specifically lack of baseline data, lack of participation by women and poor, lack of gender and social analysis expertise, and a failure to address gender issues at the level of activity objectives.
The key areas needed to accelerate progress for achieving SDGs, and also need to focus on gender inclusion and responsiveness are: (i) enhancing women’s agency, capabilities and participation in decision-making processes; (ii) eliminating gender-based violence and discrimination; (iii) transforming power relations at all levels of society. This requires political will and stronger multi-stakeholder collaboration, involving not only national and local governments, but also civil society, the private sector, academia and the media. It also requires appropriate methodology and tools to evaluate these changes. In this session an effort would be made to explore areas that help to answer - Are our policy documents gender responsive? Do policies and programmes address gender issues adequately? Do we have capacities to evaluate with EFGR (Equity focussed Gender Responsive) focus? Building partnerships on gender equality through dialogue emerges as a most urgent matter from a few recent findings. Are we ready for this?
