Gendering Evaluations: Reflections on the Role of the Evaluator in Enabling a Participatory Process

Ratna M. Sudarshan and Divya Sharma

Indian Journal of Gender Studies, 2012, vol. 19, issue 2, 303-320

Abstract: The article reflects on the experience of researchers at the Institute of Social Studies Trust (ISST) with evaluation of gender-sensitive/women-oriented development projects. It argues that participatory methods allow for constructive evaluation, based on adequate contextualisation and tracing of unintended consequences, and enhances use of findings. It also assesses the role of the evaluator in such a process.
