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.

Event Description

Institute of Social Studies Trust, in collaboration with the Heinrich Boll Stiftung Indiacordially invites you to the XXXIV Gender and Economic Policy Discussion Forum on “Assessing the gendered implications of the National Education Policy 2020 on higher education in India”.

This has been planned keeping in mind the newly released National Education Policy (NEP 2020). The policy document aims to initiate a major restructuring of the higher education landscape in India. With many new propositions including changes to the pedagogic structure, introduction of a national eligibility test for all college admissions, a centralized research curriculum, expansion of vocational training, amendments to the dropout policy, etc. many have hailed these to be landmark in terms of the far-reaching impact it will have on access to quality education. As the policy aims to fulfill the target of increasing the GER to 50% by 2035, it is pertinent to understand the implications of all that it proposes. How will these propositions impact the most vulnerable and marginalized sections of our society? How do we unpack the implications of NEP using the framework provided by the Right to Education Act? Has the policy adequately addressed the existing gender gap in higher educations? How do we envisage the implementation of this policy in the light of the stagnant public expenditure on education, a shoddy infrastructural setup and complex bureaucratic systems across central and state governments? These are some of the questions that we hope to address through this discussion forum. 

Please find  concept note which provide further details regarding the discussion theme, speakers and perspectives which we hope to touch upon. In case of any questions/concerns regarding the event, please feel free to write to me.
