F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

It relates strongly to the evaluation of public policies and gender equality by parliaments, as it is about Gender responsive budgeting.

"Equity-focused, gender-responsive evidence: a blind spot in VNR reporting" Briefing

Dear colleagues,
EvalGender+  and UN Women Independent Evaluation Service are excited to announce the release of the Briefing Paper: Equity-focused, gender-responsive evidence: a blind spot in VNR reporting prepared in partnership with IIED, EVALSDGs and EvalYouth. http://pubs.iied.org/17497IIED/

This brief is 10th in the series of briefs published by IIED and EvalSDG to help promote effective conduct and use of evaluation in SDGs follow-up and review processes. 

This issue analyses 46 Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) presented at the 2018 High-level Political Forum (HLPF).  The review found that VNR reporting has not incorporated evaluative and, particularly, equity-focused and gender-responsive evidence; and that access to disaggregated data has been a challenge to monitoring progress towards SDGs. Analysis highlights that countries are actively looking for solutions, and recognize that gender equality is an enabler and accelerator in achieving all the SDGs: equity-focused, gender responsive implementation, assessment and evaluation of the 2030 Agenda offers an opportunity for transformative change to achieve gender equality and equity in the SDGs era and beyond.

EvalGender+ would like to engage with members of the Gender and Evaluation community of practice: 
How to elevate the role of evaluation in SDG implementation and review processes, with a particular focus on designing for and using equity-focused and gender-responsive evidence, and sex-disaggregated data to ensure that Noone is Left Behind?. 

Sincerely,

Svetlana Negroustoueva

Co-chair, EvalGender+
