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.

COVID-19 Aftershocks: A Perfect Storm 

Wednesday, July 29
8:00-9:00 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time (U.S.)

COVID-19 continues to have a profound impact on children, families, and communities across the world. While children may not have been affected by disease as much as adults, the indirect effects and impacts pose a clear and present danger, particularly to those most vulnerable. The combination of the movement restrictions, closure of schools, and loss of livelihoods has created a perfect storm that increases the risk of children experiencing physical, emotional and sexual violence, both now and in the months and years to come.https://mcusercontent.com/a61a0bef2a672df3decbca8d6/images/a2678854-3e1f-40a5-8f17-286b8248e680.png" width="280" class="CToWUd" />

In this webinar, Tamara Tutnjevic Gorman and Bill Forbes from World Vision International will present findings from the agency’s recent report, COVID-19 Aftershocks: A Perfect Storm, and discuss projections and the latest data collected on the impact of COVID on violence against children. They will also share examples of the World Vision child protection response and offer some practical lessons on implementing interventions during the pandemic.
