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

The only way to assess the real long-term change of an intervention is to do an impact evaluation. But for many practitioners, clearly defining impact, and adequately assessing it, remains a challenge. This course will guide you through a process to understand and design an impact evaluation. It provides you with viable quantitative and qualitative options even in the case of complex interventions. You will learn different methods and how to choose the most suitable for your case.

In this course you will

  • Develop a comprehensive understanding of common impact measurement approaches  
  • Become familiar with complexity-aware methods to measure impact
  • Select strategies to determine the contribution of your programme to identified changes  
  • Get an overview of available tools and select the most appropriate ones for your intervention 
  • Practise how to use methods and tools with a (real life) case
  • Gain skills to critically analyse the collected data connected to your initial impact questions
