Claudy Vouhé shared GRB in local authorities (French)
Gender-Responsive Budgeting (GRB) shows that the development of a budget and budgetary choices are powerful levers in terms of gender equality. We share our lessons learned in the field: a 5-step method, concrete examples (culture, sport, subsidies, public procurement, etc.) and keys to success. An operational work to objectify the impact of public policies and budgets and make RHL accessible.
Anuradha Kapoor Shared Swayam Recent Published Study
This exploratory study foregrounds the largely invisible issue of natal family violence (NFV) in India, exploring its forms, prevalence, and deep, long-term impacts on women's lives. It challenges the myth of the natal home as a safe space and centres survivor voices and lived experiences. The findings expose systemic silences and institutional barriers to justice. It offers vital insights for policy reform, feminist praxis, and deeper societal reflection.

Tara Prasad Gnyawali - Narrative
My flashback to working with wildlife-affected communities living in a biological transboundary corridor in Bardiya, Nepal, where I spent my golden 15 years. This story reflects changes that demonstrate how a community's tolerance extends to coexistence, and that is only due to the well-integrated planning of Ecotourism opportunities for the community.

We are working on evaluation capacity development in Uganda and we have noted that female evaluators are very few. We have therefore organized a special training and reflection on the same subject area as above.
Our suspicion that we are yet to confirm is the fear for the rigour required in evaluation.
This training also aims to introduce the female evaluators to a network of evaluators with whom they can team-up with given their areas of specialization.

Namaste! In some work environments, a few men in positions of power may not take women evaluators as seriously as men evaluators. This phenomenon may not be limited to Asia only; I have seen it in the United States as well, though rarely. For example, if a team of two evaluators (one man and one woman) are presenting the results of their evaluation at a meeting, some audience members may only pose their questions to the male evaluator. The good news is that these type of men are on the path of rapid extinction.

Hi Rakesh! interesting! is it at the same years of working experience or mostly happened to young female evaluators?
do you have assumption on the rational or possible cause why they treat female evaluators that way? is it because they don't want to give us hard questions? they just being nice? or anything else?

Hi Umi,
First, thanks for connecting with me on LinkedIn.
You are asking excellent questions. With respect to the age difference, the women evaluators were much younger than the male evaluators.
I really do not have any good assumptions or a possible explanation regarding the rationale for such treatment.
All the best.
