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 focused on the story of community living in a wildlife corridor that links India and Nepal, namely the Khata Corridor, which bridges Bardiya National Park of Nepal and Katarnia Wildlife Sanctuary of Uttar Pradesh, India.
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

Evaluation spans the lines we draw between ourselves – across sectors, disciplines, organisations, cultures, political borders and layers of hierarchy. Evaluation has the power to integrate values horizontally (among peers) and vertically (across levels of authority). Over the past several decades evaluation use has moved from proving to improving, from measuring to mainstreaming, from education to all sectors and disciplines.

The UN’s designation of 2015 as the International Year of Evaluation advocates and promotes evaluation and evidence-based policy making at international, regional, national and local levels. The AES 15 International Evaluation Conference provides a platform to engage with that global dialogue. Together we will use evaluation to bring together our values, hopes, thinking, skills, and experiences in pursuit of a better tomorrow.

Ayella,

I have tested the AES link and it appears to be working. You can also access information about the conference via their main website using the following link http://www.aes.asn.au/.

Regards,

Albie

I wish to report that the link to the evaluation conference in Melbourne does not work. Can the persons responsible work on the link so that interested individuals can get more information about that conference.
