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.

GDN Annual conference is a premier event which offers a significant platform for young researchers from developing countries, policy makers and development practitioners from all over the world to debate and deliberate on key development issues in the world.  Theme of this year’s annual global development conference is Agriculture for Sustainable Growth: Challenges and Opportunities for a New ‘Green Revolution’ to discuss and delve deeper into the aspects of sustainable growth for agriculture at a global level. The aim of this conference is also to answer these challenges and to outline new opportunities for countries across different geographies.  The 2015 GDN Annual conference will be structured around following four sub-themes to better understand the nature, role and prospects of agricultural development in the context of the post-2015 Development Agenda:
