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.

An analysis of the “soft life” conversation as it emerges on social media, unpacking how aspirations for ease and rest intersect with broader socio-economic structures, gendered labour expectations, and notions of dignity and justice

Tara Prasad Gnyawali Article - 2025

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

Development is a complex task. Creating systemic change, working with local partners, and facilitating behaviour change are particularly complex activities. This means there is limited predictability as to the results of an intervention, experimentation is a must, and strategies must evolve over time in response to the local environment.As such, development actors are increasingly agreeing that managing programmes adaptively can improve their effectiveness. A growing body of evidence supports this claim. But what does adaptive management look like in practice? And what does it require of managers and funders to make happen? The BEAM Exchange is hosting a free one hour webinar on effective adaptive management at 1pm GMT on 10 December 2014. It will introduce some of the latest thinking in the area. Following a recent report on Navigating Complexity, Amir Allana from Engineers Without Borders Canada and Timothy Sparkman from Mercy Corps will discuss lessons learnt by the Mercy Corps Northern Karamoja Growth, Health and Governance Programme on the importance of office culture and consistent management messaging, and the role of supportive tools and processes. There will be an extended opportunity for participants to ask questions, contribute their own experience and suggest how BEAM and other organisations take the adaptive management agenda forward.

Wednesday, 10 December 2014 from   13:00 to 14:00 (GMT)
