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.

An analysis of the “soft life” conversation as it emerges on social media, unpacking how aspirations for ease and rest intersect with broader socio-economic structures, gendered labour expectations, and notions of dignity and justice

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.

Abstract:

Latin America is one of the most culturally diverse regions: indigenous exclusion and discrimination have recently been made visible and public responses have emerged to address its effects, while indigenous worldviews inspire new development paradigms. Emerging counter-hegemonic worldviews, however, not necessarily tackle underlying power structures such as gender power relations. Despite the fact that ethical and efficiency arguments increasingly support the need to overcome gender inequalities, women’s rights and demands have stepped back in the public agenda. At the organizational level, gender gaps also remain and inhibit effective performance toward gender transformations. The above suggests the need for reflection and self-criticism about current evaluation models, and how they reproduce - by action or omission – existing structures and power relations. Based on experiences in multicultural contexts in Bolivia andGuatemala, this panel will offer reflections, strategies and lessons learned on how to deal with power issues in evaluation.
