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 John. Thanks for responding to this post which is a bit dated but I am happy to confirm that the final text is now with the graphic designer, being prepared for publication. We are hoping it will be available in May if there are not too many complications with this final stage of the document's journey. The citation for this will be:
Stephens, A., Lewis, E. D., & Reddy, S. M. (2018). Inclusive Systemic Evaluation for Gender Equality, Environments and Marginalized Voices (ISE4GEMs): A New Approach for the SDG Era. UN Women. New York.
I will announce its availability in this forum when it is ready. You might also like to read that we have had an article about the Guide published in the peer-reviewed journal Evaluation.
Co-author, Ellen Lewis will be joining me here in Australia for the month of May - time for us to formulate our next steps and a great chance to talk to you and your colleagues about the Guide and its application.
Cheers Anne

Thanks Anne for this exchange. I'm sorry I didn't pick up these posts when they first appeared - everything in its time though! I can't access your journal article - any chance of posting on Research Gate? I am certainly looking forward to reading your Guide when it is published and it would be good to talk to you and Ellen when she is with you in May. All best, John
