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 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 Resource Pack on Gender Transformative Evaluations

The third book - A Resource Pack on Gender Transformative Evaluations - in the series of publications under the project 'Engendering Policy through Evaluation: Uncovering Exclusion, Challenging inequities and Building Capacities' (supported by the IDRC, Canada and the Ford Foundation,New Delhi) is out.

Edited by Shraddha Chigateri and Shiny Saha, A Resource Pack aims to inform readers of what constitutes gender transformative evaluations, and how to conduct such evaluations through examples and illustrations, particularly chosen from India and the South Asian region. It brings together a diverse set of resources (including examples of use of monitoring and evaluation systems by non-government organisations) to examine the principles, frameworks, methods and tools used in gender transformative evaluations. Illustrations in the resource pack include the use of a gender transformative lens to conduct Utilization Focused Evaluations, Participatory Evaluations and more.

A Resource Pack can be accessed at http://www.isstindia.org/publications/1465391379_pub_ISST_Resource_...

Response from Beth Wachuka on Facebook

I'm currently reviewing a M&E manual for the Kenya school of government with a view to include gender and human rights perspective in the training manual. As such this resource came in handy and at the right time. Thank you so much

Excellent resource pack. I've also come across ALNAP's Evaluating Humanitarian Action Guide (launched recently) http://www.alnap.org/what-we-do/evaluation/eha. While it refers to gender, it does not do so as holistically as this guide..hopefully this will be widely referred to by Humanitarian agencies.
