F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

Gender-responsive and equity-focused evaluation for post-2015 development

2015 is a year of global transformation, in which the post-2015 Development Agenda will be framed. Social equity and gender equality will be central to ensure the realization of sustainable and equitable development. Evaluation must be equipped to inform its design and implementation, both at global and national levels. National development policies and programmes should therefore be informed by evidence generated by credible national evaluation systems that are equity-focused and gender-responsive, while ensuring policy coherence at regional and global level.

UN Women Independent Evaluation Office, in partnership with EvalPartners, United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG) and Parliamentarian Forum for Development Evaluation, is leading a global effort to strengthen the demand, conduct and use of gender-responsive and equity-focused evaluation. You can learn more about the details in this newsletter.

I wish you an enjoyable reading. 
Marco Segone, Director, Independent Evaluation Office
