RAI SENGUPTA - gender-transformative evaluation tools

Synthesis of Feminist Evaluation Innovations in Crisis Contexts,

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.

Feminist Evaluation in Crisis Toolkit

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.

Localising Climate Knowledge & Strategies: Perspectives of Small and Marginal Women Farmers from Gujarat

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.

International Year of Evaluation 2015, “Evaluation torch” to be passed over to events around the world:

International Year of Evaluation 2015

“Evaluation torch” to be passed over to events around the world:

As we get ready to launch 2015, the International Year of Evaluation (EvalYear), we are inviting evaluators, managers and policy makers from all over the world to celebrate evaluation and the way we have linked with one another to promote the demand, supply and use of equity-focused and gender-responsive evaluation in policy and program decisions. We have created below master calendar, of gatherings on evaluation during 2015 in every part of the world. The closing gathering of 2015 will be the Global Evaluation Week at the Parliament of Nepal in November 2015, and it will echo and celebrate messages shared throughout EvalYear. All evaluator gatherings are important, large and small, in every country where our profession is exercised and can be useful to our societies.

During EvalYear, we will carry a virtual “2015 evaluation” torch to link the discussions that will happen all over the world around the four selected themes for EvalYear:

Identifying the key future priorities for the global evaluation community to launch the 2016-2020 Global Evaluation Agenda;
Bridging the gap between the evaluation community (supply side) and the policy makers community (demand side), including Parliamentarians, to ensure good quality, equity-focused and gender-responsive evaluations are demanded and used in policy making;
Mainstreaming equity-focused and gender-responsive evaluations in Sustainable Development Goals at international level, and in national development strategies at national level;
Developing equity-focused and gender-responsive National Evaluation policies.

The “2015 evaluation torch” that can/should be customized to the local culture/language/context will symbolize that we are united in strengthening evaluation, and specifically:

We honour the same ideals of social equity and gender equality in evaluation
We strive for excellence in evaluation
We carry messages (the torch) traveling from evaluation summit to evaluation summit, and the flame grows stronger with the messages each site adds to it
We celebrate our profession, our partnership and 2015 International Year of Evaluation

We encourage every evaluation gathering to include:

A ceremony of bringing in the Evaluation Torch (created locally in each gathering, or using/adapting the attached virtual one)
Use the evaluation torch to brand the festivities you create locally—e.g. agenda, messages, slides, etc
A process of discussing messages about the four EvalYear themes received from previous evaluation gatherings, and generating new messages to share with following evaluation gatherings
A ceremony for passing on the Evaluation Torch to other evaluation gatherings

We encourage you to let everybody know about events that you plan to do during EvalYear via EvalYear 2015 map at https://evalyear.crowdmap.com/ , as well as by communicating them to Asela Kalugampitiya, EvalPartners Executive Coordinator, at aselakalugampitiya@yahoo.ie

We also encourage you to take pictures and videos to share along with your messages, and post them at EvalYear 2015 map at https://evalyear.crowdmap.com/ or send us links as you upload them on your websites and/or YouTube, so we can, in turn, share them with our EvalPartners community.
