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.

Ideas for how to reimburse evaluation KII/FGD participants
Hello everyone,
As always, wonderful to be part of this community.
I am looking for some advice on logistical (and of course ethical, respectful) ways to reimburse evaluation participants (approx 125 people) for their time participating in evaluation activities. Bank transfers are too cumbersome and expensive as they would involve transfers from Canada to Nepal, India and Brazil.
Has anyone had experience offering electronic gift cards, for example?
Any advice welcome!
Carol

Hi Carol,
I think Electronic gift cards can be a convenient and practical way to reimburse participants. You can choose reputable global gift card providers that offer electronic gift cards usable across multiple countries like Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, or international retailers.
Another option could be "Compensation in Kind"like for example providing non-monetary compensation such as access to educational resources, training opportunities, or memberships may be appreciated by participants.

Hi Carol, this is Paula Magariños, from Argentina. Probably you've already solved this, but I want to thank you for bringing up this issue. Some institutions do not allow compensations to evaluation participants, which feels wrong to me as everybody else are getting paid for their time and work (evaluators, program´s officials, authorities...)
In Latin America we have tried several compesation strategies. Gift cards are one of them (electronic and physical) but they demand some financial and technical skills to redeem them, or mobile data accounts which make them impractical in some locations (remote, without infraestructure, and/or vulnerable). We have also made agreements with local store owners to deliver groceries or food supplies to participants. This worked well as long as we've given administrative support to them, and we had been very clear about dates and amounts to be claimed by participants.
We have also brought cash in some occasions, but it increased greatly the fielworking risks. It is neither safe no practical.
Well, this has been my experience so far. I hope we keep discussing this issue.
saludos!
Paula

Hello Carol,
This reply may be too late for your current evaluation, but perhaps for future ideas.... In Tanzania, we have faced a lot of the same situations noted by Paula from Argentina. The way that we have found to be most convenient is to offer mobile phone credit, which can either be transferred online or via physical vouchers. We've found that using mobile money is also a convenient way to reimburse transport costs.
