RANJANI K MURTHY
I bring to the table around 25 years of experience in evaluation, e-teaching, training/toolkit development, mainstreaming and research on gender and development. With respect to evaluations, I have experience with project/programme evaluation, country programme evaluation, strategic evaluation, thematic evaluations and meta evaluations, and am one of the resource persons on an online South Asian course on gender transformative evaluation (going to scale globally this year). My sectoral focus has been on of issues of economic empowerment, food security, health/SRHR, disaster-risk-reduction, adolescent girls’ empowerment, masculinities and international commitments like SDGs, CEDAW and Beijing Platform for Action. My primary clients include UN organisations, Asian Development Bank, national governments, INGOs and NGOs. For the last five years I have been focusing on intersectionality, social transformation and looking at gender beyond binary. I was a Guest Tutor for the short course ‘Men, Women and Development’ as the Institute of Development Studies, Sussex for a year, and am on the editorial board of the international Journal Gender and Development. I am on board of three NGOs in India, and on Advisory committee of a South Asian study on backlash against women and expert committee of Indira Gandhi National Open University. I combine global and regional reviews with field research, evaluations and training in India and Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Nepal, Moldova, Sudan, Mozambique, Cambodia, Indonesia and Vietnam. Before consulting, I was managing programs and leading an organisation on gender and development.
