Synthesis of Feminist Evaluation Innovations in Crisis Contexts,

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.

Feminist Evaluation in Crisis Toolkit

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.

Localising Climate Knowledge & Strategies: Perspectives of Small and Marginal Women Farmers from Gujarat

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.

Event Description

The UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UN Trust Fund) aims to harvest, analyze and disseminate lessons from the projects it funds in order to build a stronger knowledge base for scaling up global efforts to eliminate violence against women and girls. This Virtual Brownbag Event forms part of continuous UN Trust Fund efforts to share—with partners, EVAW/G practitioners and donors—new evaluation learning, as well as the diversity of content and practice-based knowledge from the civil society organizations it funds.

The event aims to bring together UN Women Colleagues, Civil Society Organizations and Partners to engage with the learning from the recently completed independent, external, meta-analysis of EVAW/G evaluations of 30 projects managed by UN Trust Fund grantees in 26 countries[i] between 2015 and 2019. This 90-minute webinar presentation has three main objectives:

To share the findings of the meta-analysis of 30 external evaluations of EVAW/G projects supported by the UN Trust Fund in 26 countries globally, focused on what we are learning about the characteristics that determine the effectiveness, sustainability and impact of EVAW/G projects;
To engage with the practice-based knowledge from the projects, which constitute a valuable resource both for those interested in advancing knowledge in the field of EVAW/G and for practitioners to learn from each other; and
To offer a contribution to the EVAW/G evidence base with learning from interventions implemented by civil society organizations, especially women’s organizations, at the frontlines of EVAW response and prevention.

You are all invited to this presentation of the Meta-analysis of evaluations managed by UN Trust Fund grantees between 2015 and 2019. The webinar will be on Tuesday, 13 October 2020 from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. EDT (New York time).

Panelists:

Gemma Wood, M&E and Knowledge Manager, UN Trust Fund to EVAW
