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.

Monitoring Tools

Dear Team

I am from Zimbabwe and work for a Trust which support orphaned children in very remote areas of Zimbabwe. Previously our work was to crowd source funds and look for these orphans and pay their fees. The work has grown now to all the 10 provinces in ZImbabwe and we have constant support from the business community and they want us to tell the impact and able to monitor and evaluate the work we have been doing. I am tasked to set up an M&E department and so far we have developed an M&E plan and it was approved. Now we need to develop the project monitoring tools for education and development projects such as fees payment leadership training, we also managed to set up Clubs in all these schools were we teach them leadership and life skill training projects and this is why I am looking for assistance in developming Monitoring and Evaluation.

Dear Solomon

Please find the CPET which I have used in southern African very effectively. It is a community participatory method of monitoring evaluation and gets children and community families engaged in the process of measuring the usefulness and success of the program and allows for course correction. Let me know if this method works for you! Good luck!

Dear Solomon

Happy to discuss your requirements further. I would also link you to our office in Harare; we have an M&E manager - Morris Charumbira - morris@restlessdevelopment.org

I would request you to shed some more light on what tools you already have. what are the elements of activities that your would like to monitor and the logical framework you may have for the project.

regards

Dear Bayiwayi 

You may like to include gender and diversity indicators while monitoring, and  as Martha has said participatory methods of monitoring by children and participants

Vimala Ramachandran has used role plays of barriers to education and development of children which is followed by discussions that highlight areas for strengthening. I use stories on discrimination and then explore if there were any such experiences. 

Best 

Ranjani
