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

Developing evidence-based programs that are in harmony with the culture of its participants are challenging to design, implement, and evaluate. This webinar will include a discussion on the use and application of evidence-based programs (EBPs) with racially/ethnically diverse populations, including potential challenges when making cultural adaptations. We will also explore the use of practice-based programs and the role that evaluation plays. With the increased emphasis on the use of EBPs within the behavioral health field, it is important to understand organizations’ experiences and understanding of EBPs with the populations they serve. A Latino youth serving organization will share their experiences with EBPs and their challenges in finding programs that meet the needs of the Latino immigrant families they serve. They will share the steps taken to develop, implement, and evaluate their own practice-based program, a trauma-informed Family Reunification and Strengthening Program for Latino families who have experienced immigration-related family separations. The main goal of the program is to help families understand that perceived, incompatible differences can and should be overcome to ensure healthy youth development and family stability. We will present a framework identifying the key issues in developing culturally responsive programs, followed by presentations and discussion among the panelists. 

Panelists: Marcella Hurtado Gómez, Managing Associate, Community Science Carolyn Camacho, Director of Youth Centers, Identity Inc. Ligia Gómez, Case Manager/ Facilitator, Identity Inc. Tomás Rodríguez, Family Reunification Lead Facilitator/ Coordinator, Identity Inc. Diego Uriburu, Executive Director, Identity Inc.
