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
Despite the long tradition of participatory approaches to evaluation, there remains confusion and doubt about what it means and how to do it effectively.
Is it the same as voice and beneficiary feedback? What levels of participation are desirable and possible in different situations? What processes and decisions might be undertaken in a participatory way?
For the past month on the BetterEvaluation site, guest bloggers Irene Guijt and Leslie Groves have been exploring issuesaround participations in evaluation (which you can read here http://betterevaluation.org/blog. )
Now, in response to a high level of interest, we've scheduled a question and answer webinar on Wednesday where you'll have a chance to ask lingering questions and share your comments on the strategies they've proposed.
The webinar will be held at 12 noon London time - click here to convert that to your time zone. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?year=2015&month=7&day=29&hour=12&min=0&sec=0&p1=136
Please pre-register - we only have 100 participant slots available - and put up your questions on the registration page here http://betterevaluation.org/event/participation_in_evaluation.

Yes, Bessa, the webinar will be recorded and made available for listening at a time that will suit you. So feel free to submit a question or comment for discussion.
The webinar will focus solely on Questions/Comments and Answers rather than repeating the content of the 4 blog posts, so it would be useful to read these beforehand. You can read them here - http://betterevaluation.org/blog/1219

the issue for me will be timing (7AM EDT), and as I am traveling, it may be problematic for me to get online at that hour (I depend on someone else's connection)
