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.

Jordanian Minister of Intl Dev becomes founding member of EvalJordan, new VOPE
Dear Colleagues
For those of you who are parents, I am sure that you remember the unique thrill of seeing your baby coming to this world! For us in the VOPE business, seeing a new VOPE born gives always the same thrill… and I am glad to share that I had the same thrill today… let me explain…
I am not talking here about “self declared” VOPEs or elusive VOPEs that are born for the sake of a conference or an event… The attached picture marks the birth of EvalJordan, where founding members came together few hours ago, each bringing a copy of their IDs and Civil Register and completed the paper work as well as the bylaws of EvalJordan.
This would have not been possible without the extraordinary efforts of Dr. Amjad Attar, the power engine behind the initiative. Amjad connected with the group that came together for the EvalMENA general assembly that was held in Amman in April 2014, but also contacted many of the “historic” figures of the evaluation movement in Jordan, among whom Dr. Osama Obeidat and Dr. Mohammed Jaljouli who – although living and working in the GCC – are now officially founding fathers of the new association.
EvalJordan plans to organize a Jordanian Evaluation Week before the end of 2014. They also connected – through the MENA Parliamentarians Forum that was also organized concurrently with the EvalMENA GA – with Jordanian MPs and are planning to have a joint event with Parliamentarians during the Jordanian Evaluation Week. Last but not least, the initiative has the full support of the Jordanian Minister of Planning and International Development who will be asked to become the first member after the founding formalities are over.
And the EvalMENA family gets bigger! After the Moroccan Evaluation Association in 2008, The Egyptian Research and Evaluation Network in 2012, The Palestinian Evaluation Association in 2013 we welcome EvalJordan in 2014. I am confident that LebEval will also see the light in 2014, as well as an nascent association in Tunisia which still needs to be “verified” as per the IOCE standards…
With kind regards
Ziad
Chers collègues
Pour ceux d'entre nous qui sont parents, je suis sûr que vous vous souvenez de ce moment magique de voir votre bébé pousser ses premiers cris ! Pour nous evaluateurs, voir une nouvelle association naitre donne toujours le même frisson ... et je suis heureux de partager que j'ai eu ce même frisson aujourd'hui ... laissez -moi vous expliquer ...
Je ne parle pas ici de d’une association «auto déclarée » ou d’une association avec le President et sa secretaire comme seuls membres. La photo ci-jointe immortalise la naissance d’EvalJordan , où les membres fondateurs se sont réunis il ya quelques heures, chacun(e) apportant une copie de ses papiers d'identité et son registre d'état civil pour remplir la demande formelle de creation d’association et l’approbation du règlement interne d’EvalJordan .
Ceci n'aurait jamais été possible sans les efforts extraordinaires de Dr Amjad Attar, le dynamo derrière l'initiative .Amjad a fédéré le groupe qui a participé à la troisième assemblée générale d’EvalMENA ensemble et qui s'est tenue à Amman en Avril 2014. Il a également contacté les figures «historiques» du mouvement d'évaluation en Jordanie, notamment Dr Oussama Obeidat et Dr Mohammed Jaljouli qui - bien que vivant et travaillant dans les pays du CCG - sont maintenant officiellement « pères fondateurs » de la nouvelle association.
EvalJordan prévoit d'organiser les Assises d'Evaluation en Jordanie avant la fin de 2014. Le group coordonne également avec le parlement Jordanien à travers les membres du parlement qui ont participé au Forum des Parlementaires MENA et qui a été organisé conjointement avec l’Assemblée Générale d’EvalMENA– pour impliquer activement le parlement lors des Assises. De même, l'initiative a le plein soutien de la ministre Jordanien de la Planification et de la Coopération Internationale et qui sera sollicité de devenir le premier membre après la finalisation des formalités.
Et voila donc que la famille d’EvalMENA s'agrandit ! Après que l'Association Marocaine de l'Evaluation en 2008, La Réseau Egyptien d’Evaluation et Recherche en 2012, l'Association Palestinienne d’Evaluation en 2013 nous accueillons EvalJordan en 2014 . Je suis convaincu de même que LebEval verra le jour en 2014,, ainsi que d'une association naissante en Tunisie et qui doit encore être " vérifié" selon les normes de l’IOCE ...
Bien Cordialement
Ziad
