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.

Call for evaluator(s) - deadline 18th December
CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST IN EVALUATION OF THE SECURITY ASSESSMENT IN NORTH AFRICA
CLOSING DATE: 18 DECEMBER 2017
The Security Assessment in North Africa (SANA) - a multi-year project of the Small Arms Survey - will be undertaking an evaluation in March next year. The Call for Expressions of Interest is attached - if you are interested please reply by midnight Geneva time, 18th December. Reply details are in the Call document. If you have colleagues who may be interested please forward the Call document. At this stage the aim is to identify a person or small team to do the evaluation.
Gender is important in small arms and light weapons issues: the Small Arms Survey would welcome interest from Gender and Evaluation forum participants.
This evaluation work has some specific requirements - in particular the language skills - but the Survey can be flexible about most aspects. We don’t expect that one person, or a small team, will necessarily be able to bring all the different skills we are seeking: evaluation experience, knowledge of both the North African context, and of small arms and light weapons and their illegal proliferation. Equally, while we would like an Outcome Harvesting approach, if you have expertise in another methodology that would also be suitable, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Once we have identified a suitable person, or team, we will work with them to finalize the Terms of Reference. The Small Arms Survey staff will provide support and backstopping as required.
We look forward to hearing from anyone interested and are happy to answer questions sent to MEL@smallarmssurvey.org
