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.

Gender and Informal sector earnings gaps in Cameroon
Abstract
In this paper, we use the quasi-experimental evaluation involves examining gender and sector
earnings gaps in Cameroon using data from an original household consumption surveys. We investigate
whether there are gender differences in earnings between formal and informal workers. Given that the
choice to work in formal or informal sector may be related to outcomes, we use a Probit selection model
and a switching regression model with endogenous switching to control for potential sample selection
bias.We also use the most common approach : OaxacaBlinder decomposition to identifying sources of
gender wage gaps. The estimates are obtained using the log of hourly rather than monthly earnings
to take account of the heterogeneity of working hours in different sectors. There is a very close link
between gender and the employment sector and earnings. Women have over 6 % likely more than men
to work in the informal sector. Then, implementing switching regression model, we find that there is
a gross wage penalty of a little over 11.8 % for women working in the informal sector, whereas the
gender earnings gap in the formal sector is around 5.9 %. In other words,the earnings penalty tends
to be greater for women than for men in both sectors. Our analyses thus highlights the importance to
face gender earnings in order to achieve development agenda.
