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

“This first workshop will be led by the Natural History Museum in London and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, and will take place on 27 January (16:00-18:00 CET). It aims to support citizen science practitioners to review their projects and programmes to see where they are perpetuating ‘white supremacy culture’, name instances of oppression, and work towards antidotes. During this workshop, participants will:

  • discuss what we understand by the term ‘white supremacy culture’, how it is defined and oppressions it encompasses
  • reflect on how these oppressions manifest themselves within citizen science programmes, both at the project and organisational level
  • explore antidotes to these, with the Natural History Museum in London and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County sharing how they are adapting their communication and work culture and practices to move towards anti-racist citizen/community science.
  •  

This event is free to attend, and you can register to take part here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcqduGvrzguHdQwfZRjpBH_9pR9qGMwKzyc
