This interesting topic has been coming up a lot in webinars, and I enjoyed discussing the differences between an intersectional feminist and gender-transformative approach to evaluation, and to our work more broadly.

That inspired this list of components that each has, and I hope it’s useful for you as you examine which would be most useful for your PMEL. I’ve seen a gender-transformative approach used more for strategies than PMEL, probably because by its nature it seeks to uncover alternatives and new ideas, and transform the existing ways of doing things. There’s already a lot written about intersectional approaches to PMEL and it’s a little more straightforward to design a data collection and analysis approach that’s also feminist than necessarily being truly gender-transformative.
