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.

Tara Prasad Gnyawali Article - 2025

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

Recrear has launched our call for applications for Magnify 2022 (October 1-14) - a two-week residency program which brings together a group of 16 activists, researchers, artists, and practitioners from all over the world around a learning question. 

This year, Magnify will be held at the feet of the active volcano of Stromboli, in Italy. We will tap into the four elements to sense the impacts of two+ years of pandemic on our lives. The residency will be all about celebrating human connection, being face-to-face and heart-to-heart. Our learning question this year is:

"How are you reinventing yourself to attend to crumbling systems and accompany new beginnings?”

Warmly,

The Recrear Team
