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

Speakers: Diana Hor, Mijail Raigorodsky, Jean-Marie Chapeau, Myriam Bérubé

Shifting away from mechanical accountability to community learning, Québec’s community sector has been reframing evaluation for many years. The intention is to be more participatory and collaborative, leading to higher levels of learning, strengthened community relations and greater transparency.

Indeed, who said Festival and Evaluation do not go together? Join us to learn more about how the Centre-South neighbourhood in Montréal has experimented with new and exciting data collection methods and creative ways of sharing analysis and narratives like the “Fest’ Eval”. The community has been successful in engaging participation, diversity and contributions from people coming from all walks of life to take ownership of the evaluation processes and outcomes in their community.

Capacity-building, empowerment and community ownership are instrumental in place-based participatory evaluation. Over the last decade, Dynamo, a Québec-based capacity-building organization, has been pioneering this field of practice, working alongside communities to explore new ways of measuring change that can keep up with the fast-moving pace of community initiatives and focusing on strategic learning to constantly improve the course of action.

Join Myriam Bérubé as she invites Diana Hor (Community leader, Center-South neighbourhood), Mijail Raigorodsky (Strategic advisor- evaluation, Dynamo) and Jean-Marie Chapeau (Evaluating impact Director, Tamarack Institute) to share highlights and lessons learned from Québec in the practice of participatory evaluation and how it can lead to new thinking, better strategies and deeper impact.
