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

We are pleased to send you the Request for Submissions for ‘Putting evidence to work for better policies, programmes and practice: the What Works Global Summit 2016’ (WWGS2016) being held in London, 26-28 September 2016. WWGS2016 will be an international culture-shifting event, putting evidence at the heart of policy and practice. It will promote quality evidence and ways of producing and communicating evidence to maximise uptake into policy and practice.
Please use the #wwgs2016 hashtag to circulate the information widely on Twitter and other social media platforms. 
 
We encourage active participation by policymakers, programme managers, media representatives, practitioners and researchers, all of whom are encouraged to submit proposals for the following: 
  • Complete panels for a 90-minute session with up to three panelists using conventional presentations followed by Q&A.
  • Organisers strongly encourage sessions that use non-panel formats, including 'chat show’ format with up to six guests and a host or a ‘fishbowl’ format which includes participants from the audience.
  • Presentations: Individual presentations of new evidence, methods, approaches and experiences of knowledge translation and brokering in any sector. The organisers will group accepted submissions into similar topic panels.
  • Posters: Posters presenting new evidence, methods, approaches and experiences of knowledge translation and brokering in any sector.
  • Submissions are also requested for pre-conference workshops which will be held on 24-25 September. We are looking for workshops on knowledge generation, translation and supporting use of evidence in policy, programme management and practice. Submissions may also cover critical evidence appraisal, media engagement and methods training. Workshops can range in duration from one to six blocks. Each block is 90 minutes.
WWGS2016 is being organised by the Campbell Collaboration, International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie), Sense about Science, and the What Works Research Centre at Queen’s University Belfast.
