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 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
Join MEASURE Evaluation for a one-hour webinar on May 20 at 9am EDT. The webinar will highlight effective health information systems (HIS) strengthening interventions to improve data quality and data use in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Despite significant resources invested in developing national HIS, the actual use of high-quality data to make informed decisions remains a challenge. In the DRC, MEASURE Evaluation has been working with the Ministry of Public Health and the National Malaria Control Program to improve data quality and increase the use of malaria information at all levels of the health system. MEASURE Evaluation used the Health Information System Strengthening Model to identify and prioritize interventions to strengthen elements of the HIS, including the rollout and implementation of the electronic routine health information platform (DHIS 2), building local capacity in monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and establishment of 77 centers of excellence to improve facility-level health information generation and use.
This webinar will discuss the outcomes of priority HIS strengthening interventions in the DRC, with particular focus on how data was used to assess data quality, generate health statistics, develop information products, and review and interpret findings. The presenters will also discuss best practices and lessons learned in using data to improve an HIS and drive data-informed decision making to improve health programs.
Register to attend the webinar.
