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

Lecture by Naila Kabeer on live stream

KIT Royal Tropical Institute and UN Women are are proud to invite you to a public lecture by Prof. Naila Kabeer on “Locked out and left behind? Gender, intersecting inequalities and the SDGs”.

Description of the lecture

Assessments of the MDGs made it clear that progress reported at national levels by different countries was not shared by all sections of their populations. There were also certain sections of the poor in these countries that were systematically ‘locked out and left behind’.  Their excluded status reflected the intersection of multiple and overlapping inequalities that made them harder to reach compared to others and gave their disadvantaged status an enduring quality, lasting over lifetimes and sometimes over generations. The SDG agenda shows clear signs of lessons learnt. It reflects a more in-depth understanding of some of the goals featured in the MDGs and incorporates a number of new goals that had previously been excluded. Of particular importance is SDG 10 of reducing inequalities of various kinds, summarized in the SDG commitment ‘to leave no one behind’.

This presentation will discuss the phenomenon of intersecting inequalities as it plays out in different regions of the world and examine various efforts to address them.

Date:  15 February 2018, Time: 15:00-17:00 Netherlands time
