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.

@umihanik_ME·I think via Zoom or Skype so far is sufficient to support online discussion on most m&e topics (provide slides sharing facility). But for theory of change facilitation is tough one. No idea on this, appreciate if someone can share their knowledge on this

Virtual ice breaker
It's called Check-In Success, and it's a comprehensive guide to check-ins, the simple, powerful tool we often use at the start of meetings.
I created the site because so many leaders with whom I work don't use check-ins.
Using them, and using them skillfully, is even more essential as greater numbers of meetings will be conducted virtually.
If I can get my act together, I hope to create a post directing people to the site (which is free of course).
Thanks, and best,
RichardRichard Cohen, Principal

Hello Rituu,
Many thanks for initiating this useful discussion! I have just written a brief blog on a combined virtual/real life theory of change workshop, to contribute to the questions about online events.
Working from home has been my default mode for more than ten years in independent consulting. After the first year, I decided to turn my guest room into a study that I could close the door on at the end of the day. That really helped. For those who don't have a spare room, just designating a specific space for work may also help...
Stay safe!
