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.

Good example of a Theory of Change for an aid agency's Gender policy.
Hi all
I have been asked to find an example of "good" Theory of Change that describes how a bilateral aid agency's gender policy is expected to work and have its effects
Good in this context means it is a good description of the agency's gender policy and is reasonably evaluable
If you can suggest any examples that are worth looking at I would be very grateful
regards, rick davies

Great question, and I am also looking forward to these examples!
I am not sure these are 'good', but here are two examples:
WOCAN: https://www.wocan.org/our-theory-of-change/ (like the simplicity)
WEMAN: https://www.oxfamnovib.nl/Redactie/Pdf/Theory%20of%20Change%20WEMAN... (very, very extensive. Wondering if anyone ever reads this...)
Womankind: https://www.womankind.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Womankind-T...
(is it a theory of change? not really. but, whatever works)
Best, Dennis

Thanks for the responses so far.
Partly related to this question, I recently wrote a blog about what I thought was a good example of a ToC, but not relating to gender policy. You can see my argument and example here: https://mandenews.blogspot.com/2021/08/reconciling-need-for-both-ho...
