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.

Request for Proposals: Mid-Term Performance Evaluation for the Helping Survivors Heal Activity
The Center for Victims of Torture (CVT) is a U.S.-based non-governmental organization dedicated to creating a world without torture. Since our founding in 1985, we have evolved to provide culturally competent and interdisciplinary interventions to survivors of torture and trauma. We have served tens of thousands through trauma-focused services, enhancing the skills and resilience of human rights defenders while facilitating justice for survivors.
As part of our ongoing commitment to quality and accountability, CVT is seeking proposals from qualified evaluation consultants to conduct a Mid-Term Performance Evaluation (MTPE) for the Helping Survivors Heal (HSH) Activity. Funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), this global capacity development program runs from October 1, 2021, to September 30, 2026, with a total budget of $17 million. The HSH Activity aims to enhance access to evidence-informed Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) services for survivors of torture through organizational capacity development and subgrants to twelve partner organizations worldwide.
The MTPE will focus on evaluating the performance of the HSH Activity to date, assessing progress towards intended outcomes, and offering recommendations for optimizing project management and support. We aim to understand how well the HSH supports partner organizations' capacity development needs and the efficiency of the implementation processes. The evaluation will commence in November 2024 and conclude by February 2025, requiring approximately 40 working days.
Interested consultants are invited to submit their proposals, which should include a technical proposal and a financial proposal, as outlined in the attached detailed Statement of Work (SoW). The technical proposal should contain a cover letter, CV(s), a description of the proposed methodology, a work plan and timeline, and should not include pricing information. The financial proposal should provide a clear breakdown of fees and expenses in U.S. Dollars.
We look forward to receiving your proposals and appreciate your interest in contributing to the important work of the HSH Activity.
