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.

Announcing winning the honourable mention for the IDEAS Evaluation for Transformation Change Award
Dear friends,
I am very honoured to announce that my evaluation “Real Time Evaluation of Gender Integration in the UNICEF COVID-19 Response in South Asia” was assessed among the top ones in the Award category "Evaluation as transformation" and has received an honourable mention of the Award! It is particularly important as it has embedded feminist principles in the evaluation design.
The Award Steering Committee represented by IDEAS, Independent Evaluation Office of IFAD, and the Independent Evaluation Group of the World Bank Group announced the results of the Evaluation for Transformational Change Award, 2022 edition.
The evaluation approach was “Real Time Evaluation” of gender integration, broadly based on the principles of Developmental Evaluation, leading to continuous learning and adaptive management, enabling the real-time utilisation of evaluation findings to course-correct and influence policy and programmatic responses in the SAR to the Covid-19 pandemic. It employed a rigorous methodology for evidence generation and ‘evaluative empowerment’ processes to deliver accelerated change.
For more details, please check out the IDEAS website

The UNICEF site also hosts the report, along with the presentation and other reports developed for this evaluation.

All of us, gender champions, may find the report of interest as we continue our journey to ensure that gender and equity are at the center of our evaluation processes.
Please feel free to connect with me for queries and comments.
Best
