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.

Gender sensitive M&E systems in Humanitarian action
Dear All
Am doing research on gender sensitive M&E systems in Humanitarian action.
Am conducting some academic research on Gender main streaming in Humanitarian action at all levels- recovery, relief and development phases. Any suggestions on current literature, tools and best practices?Am doing it as part of my Masters studies and while focused on gender sensitive M&E systems am also interested in understanding gender mainstreaming as a paradigm in humanitarian action.
Thanks

Dear Grace
This is really an interesting area for many to learn from your research. We know that Gender is a social construct and has some broader common features globally, however there are so many contextual characteristics as well, which make it quite mysteriously interesting. Could you please share if your study is looking into contextual differences and gender. What sort of humanitarian action or setting you are researching on? Do share bit more to us.
regards

Dear Grace
It is really interesting to know that you are doing research on gender mainstreaming in humanitarian action. Before having elaborate discussion, it would be useful if you could share a background note on your research work.So that the team would be able to understand the context & type of humanitarian action you want to take.
Thanks
Rukmini

Hi Grace, as everyone said, it would be great to have a better understanding of the scope of your research. You can begin to look for the gender-based analyses approaches developed by various country (in Canada, it’s called “gender-based analysis plus”: http://www.swc-cfc.gc.ca/gba-acs/intro-en.html and in Europe “gender mainstreaming”: http://eige.europa.eu/gender-mainstreaming )? I really enjoyed reading Gillian Fletcher guidelines “Adressing gender in impact evaluation, What should be considered” (free on google). It was posted by a member (I don’t recall who, sorry!).Also, I wonder if you’ll be looking for the M&E team composition in your study (how could we have a gender sensitive M&E system if the composition team is an only men party?).

I am not sure that I can help you with gender sensitive M&E system for Humanitarian action but I can share some of my experience, what are the different issues we should keep in mind. During Humanitarian action often people do not think about adolescent girls and young women's need. Often during such time as practical experience shows, girls and women do not have access to sanitary napkins, FP methods. Often women and girls are more violated during disaster. Especially when people are brough to any kind of shelter, not having separate toilet for women is a great challenge. That is time when gender based violence becomes a issue.
Not sure whether these are useful food for thought.

Dear Grace,
One more aspect you can keep in mind is -sexual minorities. I had facilitated an e-discussion
Designing LGBTI Sensitive DRR & Relief Programmes
This was the first cross-posting between Constellation, UNDP's Solution Exchange India and Bhutan and India Civil Society. The consolidated reply of the responses was compiled by G. Padmanabhan and Mamta Katwal, Resource Persons, Nupur Arora, Research Associate, and Rituu B. Nanda, Share Facilitator, Constellation with additional support from Sarah Figge Hussain, Solution Exchange Outreach

One more aspect to keep in mind- who takes ownership of the response and re-building process
See this what young people from Nepal after the earthquake expressed ( see both the blog and the responses) http://aidscompetence.ning.com/forum/topics/competent-communities-r...

Dear All
Thanks for the quick and prompt response. Find your contributions quite useful. One of the main challenges for me has been the conceptualization of what is really a gender sensitive M&E system from a systems theory theoretical framework. I have so far thought it to be consisting of gendered planning, gender sensitive indicators, staff capacity or evaluation capacity and gender sensitive evaluations. I know there could be other constructs and would welcome any further discussion. Or any ideas would really be welcome. pointers to Literature would really be useful. My research questions are : what technical factors affect the development of sensitive M&E systems in relief and recovery phases of Humanitarian action? What institutional factors affect the development of sensitive M&E systems in relief and recovery phases of Humanitarian action?
Some thoughts on what role does accountability play in ensuring gender sensitive M&E systems would also help to conceptualize further the study.
