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

Topic: Evaluations in Humanitarian Settings During COVID-19: Reflections and insights on the generation and use of evidence in humanitarian, fragile and conflict-affected settings

 With the unfolding of Covid-19, we are seeing a health crisis getting compounded by a socio-economic crisis, and in some countries, a food crisis. For organisations focussed on disaster response and relief in humanitarian settings, the pandemic has exacerbated the situation. They have had to deal with more complex and challenging problems, as they undertake numerous measures to mitigate the impacts of a compounded crisis.

At the upcoming CEDIL webinar, we have invited two experts to address an important question: during Covid-19, what role can evaluations play in humanitarian settings? Ruth Hill of the Centre for Disaster Protection will share insights from an evidence gap analysis on collecting and synthesizing evidence to respond to crises and disasters.. Kevin Watkins of Save the Children will talk about the kind of evidence that is needed in humanitarian, fragile and conflict-affected settings to address complex questions.
