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

Media%20Card_HLPF%202022.pdf

In line with SDG 17, harnessing the power of partnerships is key to deliver rapid but sustainable and effective impact in increasingly complex and challenging contexts. Governments, parliamentarians, civil society, philanthropies, the private sector and other stakeholders – all play a distinct and crucial role in building resilient communities and targeting those most in need. As the world seeks to “build back better” in recovering from COVID 19, climate change and economic shocks, leveraging partnerships to their fullest extent is critical.

Effective development co-operation that is country owned, focused on results, involves all type of partners, and is transparent and accountable, strengthens trust that leads to impactful partnerships and better results in countries. National and local governments, philanthropies and CSOs play a crucial role in putting these principles of effectiveness into action, delivering on country priorities and progressing on the Sustainable Development Goals.

Country experiences show this is true now more than ever before with shifting and rapid responses to COVID, climate change and economic shocks in countries. Being the actors closest to the ground realities, local and national-level organizations and actors can help design policies and deliver programmes based on community needs. The side event presents lessons on how catalyzing the power, capacities and reach of these actors can put our limited resources to the best use, making our development co-operation more effective.

The side event is part of the road to the 2022 Effective Development Co-operation Summit which will take place 12-14 December in Geneva (hybrid). Taking place at the midpoint of Agenda 2030, the Summit will put a spotlight on how better co-operation strengthens trust and transforms the way we work together.
