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 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

Measuring gender equality and women and girls' empowerment is an ongoing learning journey. Feminist MEAL (monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning) is a critical piece of gender transformative programming. Inspired by Global Affairs Canada's soon-to-be-released Gender Empowerment Measurement tool, join us on Thursday, November 17th from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. EST for an interactive virtual symposium to examine tools for measuring gender equality and empowerment, and practical learnings from their application.

During this symposium, you will:

  • Gain a better understanding of these tools and how they can be used in your work
  • Have the opportunity to share your tools and methods used in your gender transformative programs
  • Participate in discussions about the varying experiences, challenges and opportunities faced in the application of these tools and methods

The format of this session will be conversational with time for question and answer. This session includes simultaneous interpretation in English and French. Please note that this session will be recorded.

This offering today seems to be sold out!  I thought it was a zoom session.  How could it be "sold out"?
