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.

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.

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.
