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

Power and Partnerships: Centering Equity in Global Development and Humanitarian Programs.

The Gender Plus Summit is an inclusive thought leadership event that brings together diverse development and humanitarian stakeholders from around the world to collectively learn about key gender and social inclusion challenges and opportunities. Summit principles include prioritizing localization so that the experiences, evidence and voices of historically excluded people living in the Global South are front and center; aligning with diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility strategies; ensuring people with different kinds of disabilities have the reasonable accommodations they need to fully participate and lead; spotlighting the voices and experiences of people with different gender identities and sexual orientations; taking equitable approaches to address harmful and unfair power dynamics; and using a strengths-based approach to identify tangible solutions and available resources. 

The Summit on June 6-8, 2022, will have 5 sectoral tracks (Economic Empowerment, Transformational Health, Inclusive Education, Climate Change/Environment, and Gender-based Violence) and will help answer 3 key questions: 

    1. What does an equitable, inclusive, accessible, and/or intersectional partnership among institutions look like? 

    2. What are the biggest barriers and approaches to achieving transformational partnerships among institutions? 

    3. What evidence and wisdom is there that more equitable partnerships help catalyze greater gender equality, social inclusion, accessibility, safeguarding, and program results?
