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.

Evaluation resources for women's political skills and cadidacy program

Hi All,

I am currently working on the evaluation of a women's political candidacy engagement and training program (using DAC criteria).  I would love to see any evaluations of similar projects, especially in post-conflict situations and/or in the MENA region.

Thank you!

Warm regards,

Melissa

Dear Melissa,

I trust this message finds you well.

I'd like to share with you the end-of term valuation of AMAL regional programme for "Supporting Women’s Transformative Leadership in the MENA Region in Changing Times" implemented by Oxfam GB and Oxfam Novib in the MENA region (Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia, Palestine, and Yemen). It supported the political and economic empowerment of women's rights organizations & their constituencies as well as grassroots during and after the Arab Spring.

I hope this report is insightful and I'm happy to support you in your evaluation work.

Many Blessings.....

Hi Melissa, you might like to consider intersectionality lens in your evaluation framework. I had read a study on this related to local government female leaders but cannot find it. 

We had a discussion in our community on intersectionality. See if you find it useful https://gendereval.ning.com/forum/topics/intersectional-approach-to...

Best wishes for your evaluation. Hope you will share your learning from the experience.
