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.

Event Description

“Indaba” is an isiZulu and isiXhosa word for an important meeting held by leaders in South Africa to discuss critical matters. We have critical matters to discuss. We need to talk about transforming evaluation – about gender, race, colonialism, politics and money, science and evidence. We can’t keep quiet anymore about indigenous knowledge generation and its use in evaluation in Africa. The Africa Evaluation Indaba is an online webinar series that will bring us together to understand these issues in the evaluation field and to formulate deliberate and practical strategies in addressing them. The webinar series consists of 7 events focusing on key themes.
