Evaluation of UN Women’s Work on the Care Economy in East and Southern Africa 

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 action brief argues that contemporary gender-equality programming remains incomplete when it fails to integrate men as active, reflective, and legitimate participants in social transformation. While the historical and political focus on women is justified, the systematic exclusion of men from gender initiatives produces an imbalance that limits transformative impact and leaves gender norms unchallenged. Recognizing men not as obstacles but as gendered actors situated within systems of…See More
