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.

Parliamentarians Forum for Development Evaluation publishes “Mapping Status of National Evaluation Policies” final report.
“Mapping Status of National Evaluation Policies”, a global study on evaluation policies at country level which started in Aug 2013 was commissioned by Parliamentarians Forum for Development Evaluation jointly with EvalPartners. The study was conducted by Dr. Barbara Rosenstein who is currently academic adviser to the Evaluation Unit at Kaye Academic College in Beer Sheva, Israel and was on the expert team for the NCERT, Evaluation Capacity Building Project in Delhi, India. She is a founding member and current chairperson of the Israeli Association for Program Evaluation and was on the first board of the International Organization for Cooperation in Evaluation. Dr. Rosenstein has published articles on teaching evaluation, evaluation capacity building, reflective thinking, and evaluation methods. We would like to thank Dr. Rosenstein and all the people who provided valuable information for this study.
The final report of the study is now available and this was an initial step to document preliminary information about national evaluation policies and systems at country level. We believe there may be more fruitful information to be added and hope readers will share more updated information which can be reflected in the next version. Also we are planning to use this as an advocacy tool to promote national evaluation policy and systems discussion.
Enjoy the report!
