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.

Title - Learn how to boost phone survey response rates with tips from IDinsight
Date - September 30, 2020 9 AM EDT
Link - https://www.surveycto.com/events/idinsight-phone-survey-response-rates/
Faced with COVID-19 restrictions, IDinsight, a global research and data analytics organization that helps development leaders maximize their social impact, turned to phone surveys to collect actionable data for policymakers. They’ve been deploying phone surveys to inform COVID-19 responses, testing approaches for adapting in-person surveys, and building systems and strategies to implement phone surveys at scale. From their recent work conducting large-scale phone surveys in India and Kenya, they’ve achieved higher response rates than the average, successfully receiving phone survey responses from 60% of their sample with low refusal rates.
In this webinar, IDinsight will share their tips on protocols and systems for boosting phone survey response rates based on the success of their projects. IDinsight will share their best practices on the following methods for generating high response rates while collecting data:
- Callback protocols on the timing and frequency of survey phone calls, as well as the operations of administering those protocols.
- Lessons learned on messaging respondents before conducting surveys, building rapport over the phone, and reaching specific types of respondents (e.g., pregnant women).
- Building trackers to manage protocols that are integrated with SurveyCTO and other tools, such as Google Sheets and Python.
To learn more about IDinsight’s large-scale phone surveys, check out this series of articles on their blog. You can also explore these articles for IDinsight’s suggestions on how to maximize the value of phone surveys.
