Evaluation of UN Women's work on the Care Economy in East and Southern Africa - Evaluation Report
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.

Abstract: The North East has for long been seen exclusively through the lenses of development and democracy deficits. Numbers in India’s Periphery throws fresh light on the region by bringing a new lens – data – to the debate. Using field interviews, archival sources and secondary data, the book takes a deep dive into systematic and deliberate errors in government statistics. These errors include issues relating to geographical areas, disputed borders, population and National Sample Survey statistics in the focus state of Nagaland. Other states in India’s landlocked ethno-geographic periphery. It uncovers a mutually constitutive relationship between data, development and democracy. Despite its academic title, Numbers in India’s Periphery is engaging and very readable, even exciting at parts, as it offers accounts of how government statistics are social artefacts dynamically shaped by political and economic factors. The book also helps understand the expanding footprint of statistics in everyday life. It offers a ringside view of Centre-State relations and how the periphery views and experiences the State.
