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


Social media is a powerful source of information, connectivity, and engagement among diverse audiences. Given the high rate at which social media platforms are being used, it is of increasing relevance to health research. Social media offers platforms for multi-directional communication with possibilities of communication, observation, research and engagement. In addition to these, social media has shown initial signs of being an effective recruitment tool especially for research focused on traditionally hard to reach population groups. Given the convenience, affordability and increasing reach of the medium, the use of social media for research is likely to increase in coming years.   

This webinar offers a space to deliberate on some of the key aspects of using social media tools in health research. Our speakers through their experience will help us better understand the potential of the medium and critically think of challenges and role of ethics in using social media for research.  

This webinar is a part of the India Alliance-IAVI Scicomm webinar series—a joint effort of Wellcome Trust/DBT India Alliance and International AIDS Vaccine Initiative to strengthen south-south collaboration and support cross-learning and knowledge exchange between India and Africa.
