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.

Event Description

Every evaluation effort, large or small, should start with a plan! Evaluation plans clarify desired outcomes and help ensure stakeholders are on the same page. In this course, participants will learn about the importance of good evaluation planning, what to include in an evaluation plan, and how to use a plan after it’s been developed.

The course is delivered in two virtual instructor-led modules. Classes will take place online via Adobe Connect or Zoom. Participants who successfully complete both modules will receive certificates of completion at the end of the course. Read more about each of the modules below.

Module 1: Laying out an Evaluation Plan
March 15, 9 a.m.–12 p.m. EDT

Evaluation plans explain what will be evaluated, why it matters, what questions will be asked, how data will be collected, and what reports or products will be produced. In this module, participants will learn about the importance of the evaluation plan, explore the various components involved in the plan, and practice using logic models to articulate an evaluation plan of action.  

Module 2: Building an Evaluation Matrix
March 17, 9 a.m.–12 p.m. EDT

A key component of any evaluation plan is the Evaluation Matrix. In this module, participants will learn about evaluation frameworks/matrices and what they entail. Through guided exercises, participants will have the opportunity to build evaluation matrices and think about how they tie into evaluation plans overall. By the end of this course, participants will be planning evaluations with confidence!
