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.

Field site for research on 'participation' in Evaluation

Hello All!

My name is Akashi Kaul and I'm (relatively) new to this forum. Currently, I am a doctoral candidate at George Mason University in the United States, although I have previous experience in evaluation. As I inch towards completion - I am looking for a field site for my dissertation work.
My research is about identifying the components of 'participation' in international development evaluation, focusing specifically on issues of power, voice and agency.  
I'm looking for a dissertation field site in an ongoing or about to start evaluation that employs collaborative methods, even if it may not employ collaborative theory or program design, to study. I intend to study the nature of participation in such processes.  My ideal timeline is late November/ early December / January. For this purpose , I am looking for an evaluation site employing collaborative methods - even though the evaluation theory/ design may not have 'collaborative' 'participatory' 'empowerment' etc in the title. I am looking to collect data starting in late November/ early December. My preferred geographic location is Kenya/Tanzania/Uganda, though I'm open to other anglophone African countries. I would be very open to consulting for the said site while collecting my data too. I have previous experience in international development evaluation, particularly in education. And my PhD is in education policy too.


Do let me know if you know of any such sites!

Thank you!

Akashi

P.S. This explains my work a little better: http://aea365.org/blog/memorial-week-in-evaluation-participation-as...

Hey,

I work for BRAC Uganda as a Research Fellow. I'd be interested in having a discussion as I think this fits in really well with an upcoming community health promoter evaluation. I've tried integrating a bit of participatory evaluation into existing frameworks for BRAC Africa evaluations, and would love to learn more.

I can be reached via email: dnferris@gmail.com.

Regards, Denise
