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

Dear Colleagues, 
Verghese Kurien Policy Lab (VKPL) at IRMA has been working with UNICEF Gujarat on various aspects of COVID, its impact on rural households (food security and nutrition), and identification of coping mechanisms that may have provided insurance type effects during the pandemic. We will be presenting our first set of findings on the extent of information management in Gram Panchayats. Our findings are based on a survey of 175 GPs during the 2nd and 3rd phases of lockdown.
The details of the webinar are provided below and I take the opportunity to invite you for the webinar on 6th Aug, from 2.30 PM. A group of development practitioners (please see the attached agenda and banner)  along with VKPL will be sharing their understanding on the COVID response of GPs.
