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.

Defining Participation in Evaluation for CSO's
However, the standards of participation are varied which means whose voices are heard are inconsistent. CSO often need to advocate for the marginalised but must also negotiate the process of which actors are involved. Many stakeholders have different incentives and risks with the evaluation process. CSO’s negotiating their cooperation while advocating for the participation of marginalised communities can be political. To help with the evaluation community, Josephine Tsui and Rituu B. Naanda are interviewing selected CSO’s to explore these questions further.
Here are our research questions:
1) Please tell me about you organisation and how you and the organisation is involved in evaluations.
2) How do you define a useful evaluation?
3) Can you talk to us more about who participates in evaluations? How do they participate? Who does the information serve?
4) What value does the evaluation serve?
5) What barriers are there to ensure evaluations are more useful?
If you are interested in participating, please get in touch.

Dear Josephine and Rituu,
Your research seems very interesting, and, definitely very relevant, when considering avoiding sampling bias. In case you would like to get some support or insight, I would be interested in participating.
Many thanks and best regards,

Excited and greatful to see this initiative. For many involving the voices of stakeholders and CSOs means having them in the same room to share the evaluation design and tools which are mostly been developed by us. This study will surely go beyond this and capture what does involvement means.
I would also be interested
- how are the CSOs and stakeholders involved, contributing and shaping the analysis, as much of what we share externally are done at this stage - it's a power game.
- what does participation or involvement means - are there spaces where CSOs and stakeholders leading the front?
Best wishes
Madhumita
