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

Tara Prasad Gnyawali Article - 2025

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

Register for the webinar ►

This webinar, part of the gLOCAL Evaluation Week 2020 and co-organized with DEval and CLEAR, will introduce ISE4GEMs, a methodology designed to work with the intersecting complexities of gender equality, environmental conservation (as well as habitability), and the inclusion of marginalized voices (human and non-human). The relevance of this topic directly supports the call to “leave no one behind” of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, using systems thinking and transdisciplinary theories (for example, evaluation, feminist, sustainability, development, intersectionality) and practice towards increased grassroots-designed social change.

Every country is striving to achieve its commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly considering pernicious gender inequality, violation of human rights, and climate change’s impact on human life, flora, and fauna.

This webinar will serve to deepen the conversation and learning on how to create a systemic theory of change in acknowledgement of these complexities, legitimacy though participatory practices, and ethical priorities. The theoretical approach to this methodology will be supported by the presentation of a practical experience through a UN Women–led evaluation in the Caribbean countries.

Sponsored by: Americas and the Caribbean Regional Office, DEval, and CLEAR
