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

The UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UN Trust Fund) aims to harvest, analyze and disseminate lessons from the projects it funds in order to build a stronger knowledge base for scaling up global efforts to eliminate violence against women and girls. This Virtual Brownbag Event forms part of continuous UN Trust Fund efforts to share—with partners, EVAW/G practitioners and donors—new evaluation learning, as well as the diversity of content and practice-based knowledge from the civil society organizations it funds.

 

The event aims to bring together UN Women Colleagues, Civil Society Organizations and Partners to engage with the learning from the recently completed independent, external, meta-analysis of EVAW/G evaluations of 30 projects managed by UN Trust Fund grantees in 26 countries[i] between 2015 and 2019. This 90-minute webinar presentation has three main objectives:

 

  1. To share the findings of the meta-analysis of 30 external evaluations of EVAW/G projects supported by the UN Trust Fund in 26 countries globally, focused on what  we are learning about the characteristics that determine the effectiveness, sustainability and impact of EVAW/G projects;
  2. To engage with the practice-based knowledge from the projects, which constitute a valuable resource both for those interested in advancing knowledge in the field of EVAW/G and for practitioners to learn from each other; and
  3. To offer a contribution to the EVAW/G evidence base with learning from interventions implemented by civil society organizations, especially women’s organizations, at the frontlines of EVAW response and prevention.

 

You are all invited to this presentation of the Meta-analysis of evaluations managed by UN Trust Fund grantees between 2015 and 2019. The webinar will be on Tuesday, 13 October 2020 from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. EDT (New York time).
