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

MILE (Measuring Impact for Learning & Empowerment) is a people-centric and action oriented participation and feedback methodology in Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO). It blends the technical rigor of programming paired with active beneficiaries’ participation and feedback. It promotes ownership through co-creating, joint monitoring, mutual learning, and mutual influencing of program design, implementation and learning. It recognizes that VSO project beneficiaries, particularly the most marginalized, excluded, and vulnerable, have a central stake in the program and monitoring and evaluation cycle of every individual project/program that is meant to positively and sustainably change their lives.

MILE enables project beneficiaries, particularly the poorest, the excluded, most marginalized, and vulnerable, to be at the center of planning and execution of monitoring, evaluation & learning in VSO projects, making it participatory, accountable, and empowering for the beneficiaries involved. It aims to apply methodologies that are tailored and relevant to different categories of beneficiaries e.g. early grade learners, older pupils, youth & adolescents, children/people with disability, refugee people and so on.
