The module examines two flagship initiatives implemented by Global Affairs Canada to demonstrate how Feminist Evaluation operates in practice:

 

CASE STUDY COMPARISON

Women’s Voice and Leadership (WVL) Initiative

PowerUp Programme (Movement Building)

• Used diverse stakeholder reference groups.

• Included local evaluators and mixed methods.

• Reflected on institutional barriers to programming.

• Focused on storytelling workshops, art-based data collection, and women’s narratives.

• Measured shifts in influence, agency, confidence, and access to decision spaces.

KEY TAKEAWAY: WVL used reference groups & mixed methods; PowerUp used art and storytelling. This proves there is NO single feminist evaluation template—methods must fit the program and community context.
