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.

An analysis of the “soft life” conversation as it emerges on social media, unpacking how aspirations for ease and rest intersect with broader socio-economic structures, gendered labour expectations, and notions of dignity and justice

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

In the context of the work and approach of the Institute of Social Studies Trust (ISST), it is pertinent and desirable to continue generating fresh evidence to (a) identify the need and direction for newer interventions and (b) help measure impact using a critical gender transformative lens so that programs can move beyond just numbers and capture the normative and cultural shifts that will challenge patriarchy and create the conditions for real change towards gender equality. Gender transformative approaches to evaluation seek to unpack the nature of gender and social inequalities which is not just a value-free assessment but where evaluation is used as part of the transformative change process.
Join us on 2nd Feb 2023 | 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM IST for the ISST- masterclass - 'Unpacking Gender Transformative Evaluations'.
