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

Several approaches are available to support evaluations in identifying and addressing gender inequalities. This webinar will bring together experts and practitioners to look into the application of gender responsive evaluation frameworks with a focus on agriculture, food security, and rural development: How have evaluations in these fields used gender-responsive frameworks, if at all? With what challenges? How did they help in identifying changes in gender and power relationships of rural women? The discussion on practical examples and good practices aims to broaden the understanding on how to improve the applications of gender-responsive and feminist frameworks.
