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 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.

https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/854613366 (9:00 AM UTC, 4:00 PM Indo-China Time (UTC+7))

Over the past months, SEA Change and UKCIP collaboratively developed and launched three Guidance Notes in relation to the monitoring and evaluation of climate change interventions, being:

 

Guidance Note 1: "Twelve reasons why climate change adaptation M&E is challenging".

http://www.seachangecop.org/node/2728

 

Guidance Note 2: "Selecting indicators for climate change adaptation programming".

http://www.seachangecop.org/node/2806

 

Guidance Note 3:"Theory of Change approach to climate change adaptation programming".

http://www.seachangecop.org/node/2933

 

During this webinar, the authors will discuss why these Guidance Notes have been developed, how they tie together and they will talk about how these Guidance Notes can be used by M&E professionals in climate change and environmental fields.

More importantly, we also want to hear from you!  Do you have any questions after reading these Guidance Notes? Are there any parts on which you would like further clarification? We're happy to elaborate and are looking forward to a vibrant discussion!

Mr. Dennis Bours - Team Leader, SEA Change Community of Practice Ms. Colleen McGinn - Monitoring & Evaluation Expert, SEA Change Community of Practice Mr. Patrick Pringle - Deputy Director, UK Climate Impact Programme (UKCIP)

 With kind regards,

Dennis Bours
