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.

An analysis of the “soft life” conversation as it emerges on social media, unpacking how aspirations for ease and rest intersect with broader socio-economic structures, gendered labour expectations, and notions of dignity and justice
Tara Prasad Gnyawali Article - 2025
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.

How is (evaluative) knowledge around Gender constructed and used/utilized ...
Dear all I’m finalizing an article about the use of evaluative meta-theory to improve gender programming. I’m particularly interested in knowing:
- How in our field (evaluative) knowledge around gender is constructed (dominating stances, methodologies etc..)
- How constructed knowledge is then used/utilized to improve gender programming. Here I’m particularly interested in listing all major platforms (virtual or physical) globally / but also regionally ( Africa being the focus here) where Gender/Feminist Evaluation (Trainings, Evaluative Results, Fora) is discussed.
I know about virtual platforms such as https://gendereval.ning.com/ , www.feministevaluation.org or the UNWOMEN website, are there more platforms of practitioners /gender policy makers? Physical platforms /events?
The deadline for the article is this Friday, hence any hint/information would be greatly appreciated, Huge thanks in advance
