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

Dear Colleagues,

Collecting high-quality and innovative data in a short time period is an ambitious undertaking, especially when you have thousands of young adults from diverse backgrounds to interview. The MIGNEX project is a survey on migration and development, which sampled more than 13,000 young adults across 26 research areas in ten countries. In our upcoming webinar, MIGNEX’s survey lead, Dr. Jessica Hagen-Zanker, will give an overview of the survey and the extensive preparations to deliver a high-quality survey across varied contexts. 

We will then hear about the delivery of the survey in practice. Dr. Chike Nwangwu, Raphael Mbaegbu, and Sunday Duntoye from NOI Polls will talk about their experiences with the extensive data assurance processes applied by MIGNEX, including many on the SurveyCTO platform. They will talk about the benefits and limitations of the measures applied.

Title - How MIGNEX organized data collection to drive high-quality data

Date - Wednesday, April 20, 2022, at 9 AM ET/ 1 PM UTC

Registration link  - https://www.surveycto.com/events/mignex-data-quality-webinar/

In the webinar, MIGNEX will reveal:

  • What the research project leaders aim to gain from the MIGNEX survey
  • How they prepared for the survey and built a solid quality control workflow
  • The experience of their data managers, including how to enforce their data assurance processes using automated quality checks, the review and correction workflow, and Data Explorer.
  • A bonus resource: MIGNEX’s daily checklist for data managers


We hope you’ll join us!
