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.

A guide to develop key competencies and leadership skills for women in organizations
May I share with this community the note posted in the current issue of the IDEAS Newsletter, on my book in Spanish, "Mujeres, a liderar!... A nuestro modo: 5 habilidades clave para el poder y el éxito" (Women, to lead our way: 5 key skills for power and success). The English and Portuguese versions will be available shortly.
While this Spanish version is focused on Latin American & Caribbean cultural contexts for women leaders, it intends to support women in organizations worldwide. Men can also benefit from the leadership tips provided in the book.
It is based on my experiences in mentoring and leadership programs for women in organizations, as well as Feminist & Gender Transformative Evaluation capacity development programs conducted in different environments, with universal gender equality principles and leadership styles that may be applied anywhere to help overcome gender gaps in organizations.
The book is available in digital and paperback versions at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09898HRZ2.
I would appreciate your reviews and comments to help improve future editions of the book.
Thank you for your support!
