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 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 Global Evaluation Initiative (GEI) is supporting YEEs in the context of the gLOCAL Evaluation Week, through providing "Evaluation Activation Sessions for Emerging Young Evaluators". This project is the result of a partnership between GEI, EvalYouth, The World Bank Independent Evaluation Group, The Global Evaluation Initiative, UNFPA, the European Evaluation Society (EES), IDEAS, and a wide range of universities and regional VOPEs. It consists of a training program designed to accelerate the career development of young evaluators, which will take place during gLocal Evaluation Week (from May 31 - June 4), in five languages (English, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, and Arabic). 

Over the last months, the initiative partners have mapped 20 frequently asked questions asked by young people on how to develop their careers. We are inviting high-level figures of the M&E community to help us answer these questions through two training sessions and a series of videos that will be launched during gLocal Evaluation Week.

The P2p+ MENA hub will host two sessions in Arabic, the first on May 31, 2021, and the second on June 4, 2021. Here is the website in case you want to know more
