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

Design and facilitate effective trainings, workshops, conferences or larger meetings for your target groups

Most professionals will at some point facilitate workshops, conferences or meetings. Sometimes you might even be designing and implementing a training programme. Where do you start when designing a training programme? How do you keep your group engaged? Transferring skills and knowledge to learn from each other is valuable and rewarding, if done in the right way. After this course, you will become creative in using a variety of training and facilitation methods. You will be able to recognise group dynamics, facilitate a discussion and build consensus during meeting and events.

Your profile

You are a professional who wants to achieve meaningful, high-quality results from participative meetings and workshops. Or you have a trainer keen to get the best out of your learners. You are open to learn from feedback and enhance your competencies.

What can you expect?

In this course, we offer you a blended learning trajectory, combining online learning and face-to-face training. During the first four weeks of the course, you learn by long-distance through our online learning platform. This online portion takes about 2-3
hours per week. The face-to-face part comprises 5 days.

On completion of the training course and subject to attendance and active participation, MDF Training & Consultancy will award a certificate of completion.
