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.

Hi Rashmi and all,
Attached is a toolkit that Sharon Brisolara developed for USAID in 2014. Some of it is specific to USAID's operational requirements, but much of it might be helpful for other organizations as well.
Thanks!

At Institute of Social Studies Trust, Delhi we conduct gender and equity focused evaluations. Three resources might interest you.
1. Here is a paper which might be useful resource. We used elements of community life competence- a strength-based approach to facilitate GEFE.
Nandi, Rajib; Nanda, Rituu B and Jugran, Tanisha. Evaluation from inside out: The experience of using local knowledge and practices to evaluate a program for adolescent girls in India through the lens of gender and equity [online]. Evaluation Journal of Australasia, Vol. 15, No. 1, Mar 2015: 38-47.

2. We have used SALT approach to facilitate self assessment of domestic workers on domestic work. It was supported by ILO Delhi office. ILO is currently finalising the manual for this tool. To read about Constellation's SALT approach http://www.communitylifecompetence.org/
3. I was part of IDS team which facilitated Participatory Statistics to Examine the Impact of Interventions to Eradicate Slavery: Lessons from the Field’. This was for a project funded by Freedom Fund in two states of India - Bihar and UP. The study was with 14 NGO partners of Geneva Global.

CDI Practice Paper 16
Publisher IDSThis CDI Practice Paper by Pauline Oosterhoff, Sowmyaa Bharadwaj, Danny Burns, Aruna Mohan Raj, Rituu B. Nanda and Pradeep Narayanan reflects on the use of participatory statistics to assess the impact of interventions to eradicate slavery and bonded labour.It deals with:
- the challenges of estimating changes in the magnitude of various forms of slavery;
- the potential of combining participatory approaches with statistical principles to generate robust data for assessing impact of slavery eradication; and
- the practical and ethical questions in relation to working with people living within a context of modern slavery.
The paper draws lessons from the realities of using participatory statistics to support the evaluation of a slavery eradication programme in North India.
The publication has been uploaded to the IDS website and can be found using the following link: http://www.ids.ac.uk/publication/using-participatory-statistics-to-...
