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.

"Equity-focused, gender-responsive evidence: a blind spot in VNR reporting" Briefing

Dear colleagues,
EvalGender and UN Women Independent Evaluation Service are excited to announce the release of the Briefing Paper: Equity-focused, gender-responsive evidence: a blind spot in VNR reporting prepared in partnership with IIED, EVALSDGs and EvalYouthhttp://pubs.iied.org/17497IIED/

This brief is 10th in the series of briefs published by IIED and EvalSDG to help promote effective conduct and use of evaluation in SDGs follow-up and review processes. 

This issue analyses 46 Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) presented at the 2018 High-level Political Forum (HLPF).  The review found that VNR reporting has not incorporated evaluative and, particularly, equity-focused and gender-responsive evidence; and that access to disaggregated data has been a challenge to monitoring progress towards SDGs. Analysis highlights that countries are actively looking for solutions, and recognize that gender equality is an enabler and accelerator in achieving all the SDGs: equity-focused, gender responsive implementation, assessment and evaluation of the 2030 Agenda offers an opportunity for transformative change to achieve gender equality and equity in the SDGs era and beyond.

EvalGender+ would like to engage with members of the Gender and Evaluation community of practice: 
How to elevate the role of evaluation in SDG implementation and review processes, with a particular focus on designing for and using equity-focused and gender-responsive evidence, and sex-disaggregated data to ensure that Noone is Left Behind?. 

Sincerely,

Svetlana Negroustoueva

Co-chair, EvalGender+
