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

Nearly a year into the COVID pandemic, we know that FP/RH programs have been actively adapting their program strategies to ensure continuity of care and services. Given the need to rapidly adjust services, many organizations have not had sufficient time to either document their strategies or to share learnings with peer organizations.  We invite you to take a break from your hectic schedules and listen to some successful experiences documenting and visualizing how FP/RH programs have been adapting to COVID-related challenges.  The IBP COVID 19 and FP/RH Task Team, hosted by WHO/IBP Network, Knowledge SUCCESS and Research for Scalable Solutions (R4S), has been offering a space for implementers to talk with and learn from each other over the past nine months.   Drawing inspiration from a PSI initiative, we will be launching an interactive map at this webinar that visualizes diverse adaptations.  Come and hear specifics about PSI-led adaptations across service delivery and SBC domains, then see and hear how you can find and contribute information to the IBP FP/COVID interactive map!
