A Feminist, Gender and Rights Perspective for Evaluation of Women’s Health Programmes

Renu Khanna

Indian Journal of Gender Studies, 2012, vol. 19, issue 2, 259-278

Abstract: This article discusses the evaluation practice of a women’s health advocate who learnt lessons about evaluation of health programmes from the experience of being evaluated. In turn, the author lays out the principles that she tries to follow while undertaking evaluations, namely, her concept of women’s health and the values and ethical principles that guide her practice. The article presents and discusses three case studies of recent evaluations and reviews that the author was involved in to illustrate how she reinterpreted the terms of reference from a feminist and gender perspective. The article discusses how a feminist evaluator could negotiate the intricate relationships in an evaluation, how to address the issues of power; and the meaning of knowledge-building within an evaluation context.
