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.

Dear Kristy.
As a member of this COP and co-chair of the global partnership EvalGender+ I would like to extend a warm welcome, and congratulations. Karine Lepillez, one of the founders, and I were once co-chairs of the Femnist Issues in Evaluation TIG under AEA. I am delighted that it has come full circle and we are engaging again, and hopefully our voices will be so much stronger in developing and using evidence to advance gender equality, feminist principles and social inclusion.
Regards, and welcome!
