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

Tara Prasad Gnyawali Article - 2025

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.

Event Description

The National Data Quality Forum (NDQF) is pleased to invite you to the fourth in a series of discussions aimed to generate invigorating dialogue on data quality in India among data scientists, researchers, decision makers and innovators. We intend these to be enlivening and interactive sessions that bring us together towards developing an active data quality community of practice.  In the last three months, there have been an extraordinary number of phone-based surveys in India and elsewhere, and there will be many more in the near future. In this time of a fast-spreading epidemic, the country needs a lot of data from the ground to take appropriate policy decisions and  these phone surveys intend to provide relevant and good-quality data to the government. However, there is a growing concern that because of the pressure to produce quick results, both the science and the ethics of research are possibly being compromised. This session, where experts will discuss both the science and the ethics of phone-based surveys, will provide valuable insights on how one can ensure both. Please consider circulating this among colleagues who may be interested in topical issues on science and ethics of phone-based surveys. Date: July 2, 2020  Time: 6 PM-7:00 PM (IST)

Welcome: Dr. Niranjan Saggurti, Population Council Moderator:  Dr. Suneeta Krishnan, BMGF India Panellists  Dr. Vasantha Muthuswamy, ICMR Dr. Shalini Bharat, TISS Mumbai Dr. Sanjay Kumar, UNFPA Dr. Rajib Acharya, Population Council
