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

Time is in EST
Join the NPE for our next Thursday Talk with Reina Neufeldt of the University of Waterloo who will discuss using and analyzing narrative data. 
 
Interviews are an evaluation method that can yield depth and texture in an evaluation by helping to understand how an intervention has affected individuals and how they view the intervention and change.  Yet often interview data is underutilized by evaluators. Reina will address the questions: How can we use interviews to get a more complex understanding of an intervention?  What are some better strategies for analyzing interview data in peacebuilding evaluation?
