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.

What types of new partnerships should we build to promote the use of evaluation among public policymakers?
Greetings! This is a cross-post that I first first posted yesterday on the American Evaluation Association's LinkedIn Discussion Group.
I am looking forward to chairing a panel session on this subject at the annual conference of the American Evaluation Association in Denver this coming October. I hope ths post will generate many comments that I would be able to use to facilitate a highly interactive session at the AEA conference.
The conference theme asks us to “envision evaluation as fundamental to a sustainable, equitable future” and to “unleash the power of evaluation…to impact the world in positive ways.” To unleash that power, we will need to build new partnerships with those who have access to policymakers and understand the nuances of the public policy process. These partnerships will help us better understand policymakers’ information needs and allow us to educate them about the value of evaluation in making informed policy and program decisions that would help create a sustainable and equitable future.
I have invited experts from two organizations that have worked with policymakers for decades: the National Conference of State Legislatures and the Pew Charitable Trust. The audience will also hear from a senior legislator from my state. He is using the work of these and other organizations to improve criminal justice policies in Idaho. The panel members are:
1. Bill Pound, Executive Director, National Conference of State Legislatures
2. Michael Caudell-Feagan, Vice President, Government Performance, The Pew Charitable Trusts
3. Rich Wills, Chair of the House Judiciary, Rules, and Administration Committee, Idaho State Legislature

Thank you.
