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.

Event Description

Voluntary Organizations of Professional Evaluators (VOPE) have played a pivotal role in raising public awareness about evaluation and its contributions to good governance, evidence-based decision making, and capacitating civil society. By building evaluation leadership and capacity, advancing the exchange of evaluation theory and practice, and addressing issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the evaluation profession and practices, VOPEs have led the reframing of developmental problems. This webinar explores the experiences of VOPEs in South Asia, and reflects on their role in strengthening the evaluation ecosystem at large.

In this webinar, we will be talking about:

• A reflection of the journey undertaken by VOPEs in South Asia, and the future of evaluation as a profession.
• Experiences of VOPEs – participation, engagement, and knowledge exchange in South Asia and a shared vision of success
• Role of VOPE’s in strengthening the evaluation ecosystem
