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.

Do you have a question on gender and equity-focused evaluation?

If there is one thing you wanted to know on gender-transformative/feminist evaluation what would it be?

We will compile the questions and then try to find answers amongst our members of gender and evaluation community.

PLEASE RESPOND! THANKS

I think to begin with, the fist question I have is - What is feminist evaluation? what is not a feminist evaluation?

At the outset I would like to thank Ranjinidi for this initiative & Rituu for sharing this?

I have questions in my mind.

What are the prerequisites of equity focused evaluation?

Is it required that while taking gender equity evaluation of the programs, such evaluation of the organizations to be taken into consideration?

Hi there, and thanks for this wonderful initiative.

I have a rather practical question. I am part of a team facilitating a gender strategy for a big and complex international NGO. As part of this process we are screening tools and methodologies to assess the level and the quality of gender mainstreaming in their development and humanitarian programmes.

Any hint you can give us in this regard will be much appreciated! Thanks a million.

Dear Eva

Please look at the toolkit on non discrimination in emergencies by Save the Children.  I was one of the coauthors. It looks at inter-sectionalities, including gender

www.crin.org/docs/ND_Emergencies.pdf

Thanks, we will include tools and methodologies to assess quality of gender mainstreaming in our resource pack.

Thanks all who have already contributed to this great initiative. I have been following the website and now have a question that I would like to pick your brains about. I am looking for tools that parliamentarians can use to assess laws from a gender perspective. Has anyone used particular tools to train parliamentarians on this or knows of tools that they could be provided with (questions to ask, checklists, etc.).

Sharing gender analysis of laws with parliamentarians can be a strong advocacy tool but strengthening capacity of parliamentarians to make their own assessments could be even more powerful.

Any ideas or experiences you can share working on this would be very welcome!

Dear Sille

I would think a good place to explore would be UN Women. 

In Asia, there is Asia-Pacific Women Law and Development and I am sure they engage with Parliamentarians.  

International Women's Rights Action Watch works partly on this, and they have offices at regional level all over the world
