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.

Event Description

Managing for lasting results in the new reality of
international cooperation

During the last decade, result based management (RBM) has gained much influence in international cooperation. Still many organisations struggle to plan for real results with the accompanying processes and tools. RBM has consequences for the entire organisation: for project planning, monitoring, evaluation and learning. Learning how to design a solid RBM framework is a good first step to integrate RBM in your organisation.

Your profile

You are a programme manager, team leader, head of department, project officer, consultant or advisor in the public, non-profit, or private sector. who need to master RBM concepts and tools. You want to effectively manage results-oriented projects and programmes in your own organisation or with partner organisations.

What will you gain?

  • Understand RBM in a changing development context (e.g. SDGs, private sector involvement).
  • Know how to create a Theory of Change to plan for your programmes and projects.
  • Learn how to develop a Results framework (distinguish between Spheres of Control, Influence and Concern).
  • Gain insight in results-oriented monitoring, including the use of KPIs (key performance indicators).
  • Discover implications of RBM for your organisation, in terms of organisational capacity and cooperation with key actors/stakeholders.
