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

Gender-related social norms dictate how men and women act in society, the roles they play and the behaviors they aspire towards. Social norms can be a barrier to women participating in economic activities and in agriculture innovations (new farming techniques). A meta-analysis of agriculture evaluations in Pakistan and Ethiopia was commissioned to find out what works for gender norm change in agricultural projects. Unfortunately results and knowledge from projects and evaluations are not widely shared or published. Additionally, evaluations that lack rigor miss out on capturing gender norm changes. The research undertaken contributes to a literature gap on what works to change gender-related social norms in rural Pakistan and Ethiopia.
