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 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

Global movements like #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter have reignited calls for social justice in international development. Many donors and non-governmental organizations are responding but still struggle to address systemic inequality and decolonize their work. Development research can be a critical tool in these efforts. Reimagining systems and fostering equality and social justice requires us to ask: How can we decolonize research and disrupt unequal gender and power relations? How can the research process itself be transformative and an opportunity for co-liberation? What practical tools and steps facilitate power sharing? How can research, like gender analyses, be used to advance decolonization and social justice?

Join the virtual webinar for a thought-provoking conversation with researchers, social justice advocates, and development practitioners as we discuss examples and practical ways forward.
