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 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.

material/ toolkits for building institutional capacity at gender-responsive humanitarian programmes

Hello everyone,

I'm researching relevant approaches, methods and toolkits that help build institutional capacity for gender-responsive programming in humanitarian emergencies - specifically in response to food insecurity, malnutrition and reduced livelihoods caused by prolonged droughts and seasonal flooding.
I would be very grateful for any recommendations and guidance you can provide.
