Evaluation of UN Women’s Work on the Care Economy in East and Southern Africa 

A regional study of gender equality observatories in West and Central Africa, carried out by Claudy Vouhé for UN Women

Sources: UN Women

This regional study offers an inventory and analysis of the legal framework of gender observatories, their attributions, functions and missions. It is based on exchanges with 21 countries, in particular the eleven countries that have created observatories. It compares the internal organisation and budgets of the observatories between countries, looks at operational practices, in particular the degree of involvement in the collection and use of data, and identifies obstacles and good practices in terms of influencing pro-gender equality public policies. Finally, the study draws up a list of strategic recommendations intended for observatories, supervisory bodies and technical and financial partners.

This article revealed how the wildlife mobility in the corridor affects community livelihoods, mobility, and social inclusion, with a sense of differential impacts on farming and marginalised communities.

Event Description

There is increasing interest in networks as a means of addressing sexual and gender-basedviolence (SGBV), in a coherent and effective manner - particularly in East and Southern Africa. The process of fostering collaborations between organizations with common interests and goals around SGBV, creating networks among them, and having them work in tandem to tackle specific aspects of the issue, has been referred to as a 'network approach.' This webinar focuses on a network approach developed by the Population Council to respond to SGBV in low-resource settings in the East and Southern Africa region. It describes the components of the approach, its rationale, the associated results of the approach, and scale-up strategies.

About the Presenter: 
    
Dr. Chi-Chi Undie is an Associate in the Reproductive Health Program of the Population Council. She coordinates and provides strategic direction and technical oversight for the Population Council-led 'Africa Regional SGBV Network' - a network of partners in the East and Southern Africa region who design, implement, and test innovative response models to SGBV in low-resource settings. She holds a BA in French from the University of Calabar and an MA in intercultural communication and an interdisciplinary doctorate (PhD) in language, literacy, and culture from the University of Maryland.

Dear All,

Some members reported that they could not attend the webinar which I had shared with you. The topic was a network Approach to Addressing Sexual and Gender-Based Violence. I contacted the organiser Bethany O'Connor. Please find appended a message from her. Thanks Bethany!

Warm regards,

Rituu

Bethany's message:

Please direct your colleagues to our community library where the recording and slides have just been uploaded.  They do not need to be members to access the documents.  The files they are looking for are the top two on the list, named “Webinar slides” and “webinar recording”.  I hope this is helpful and please let me know if I can give any further assistance.
