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.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Whether by a private company, an international NGO, a national or local government, or a philanthropic organisation, the effectiveness of efforts to address gender inequality cannot be monitored or evaluated if solid data is not available. Areas of intersection, such as the disproportionate effect of the COVID-19 or climate crises on women, are woefully understudied and undercounted, meaning that targeted interventions cannot be designed. Likewise, long term cause and effect such as discriminatory social institutions or the impact of infertility on national GDP cannot be analysed without consistent and accurate access to open gender data. More and better gender data can lead to better solutions and improve accountability; solutions that have the power to unlock $3 trillion in economic potential across the global economy.

 

This DEV Talk will bring together experts and private sector and government representatives, to discuss why the lack of data about women’s lives and livelihoods around the world persists despite recent efforts and a global recognition of the importance of the issue. They will explore what can be done to increase awareness, prioritisation, and support from multilateral partnerships to unlock the potential of gender data for the COVID-19 recovery and beyond.
