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.

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!

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.
