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.

Seeking help
Dear All,
I am final year PhD student at the University of Bath, England. My research topic is: How does the primary school curriculum, both implicit and explicit, influence the gendered capabilities of female pupils? It is an ethnographic case study in two schools in Northern India (Chandigarh). I will be finishing my PhD by March 2020 and was wondering if there are any opportunities available in India, particularly in gender context.
I tried applying in general context in Indian Universities as my research area can fit into many broad categories, overarching different aspects in Social Sciences, like, qualitative research methods etc. However, I never heard from any of these Universities. So, I decided to seek help here to find out if any of you is aware of any opportunity or guide me how and where I can apply apart from Indian Universities.
If this is inappropriate and you do not deal in this area, please ignore my message. If you do, I will be very obliged and thankful for your guidance.
Special thanks to Rituu for suggesting to post here.
Best Wishes,
Vandana Singh
