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

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

Linda Stern of the National Democratic Institute (NDI) hosts the M&E Thursday Talks to lead discussion on "Community-Based Participatory Research with Marginalized Communities.”

 

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER NOW

Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) engages those closest to the issues under evaluation as analytical partners. A form of participatory action research, the aim of CBPR is to increase knowledge of the issues for and with program partners. After ten years of programming to promote the political mainstreaming of excluded Roma populations, NDI wanted to implement a retrospective evaluation that was not only accountable to its donors, but also to its local Roma partners.

 

Using a CBPR model, NDI engaged Roma partners in each step of the research cycle, first by establishing a Roma Advisory Committee to scope and oversee the evaluation and then training Roma Research Assistants to implement community-based research in 10 Roma communities in Eastern Slovakia.

Linda Stern will share NDI’s experience, identifying the benefits and challenges of CBPR with marginalized communities, as well as the strengths and limitations of the CBPR model itself. Following the presentation, you are encouraged to ask questions and discuss how these findings can be further applied.
