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 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.

The people behind Evalpartners

Dear EvalPartners Friends,

The beginning of preparations for Dublin (2014), and Sri Lanka (2015), has given me pause for reflection. In the fury of preparations, it is easy to lose sight of how much we have done, and how important it is to be working truly TOGETHER in this important movement of EvalPartners. So I put together this video to express my appreciation for the people of EvalPartners, and for what each and every one of you and those not in this email list gives of your time, creativity, passion, and hard work to make EvalPartners a success, and to make sure EvalYear is memorable and an important milestone for the future.

With my friendship,

Tessie

Dear Rituu,

Thank you so much for sending the Video recorded by Tessie. Your effort to make us familiar with this type of material is 'Great'!  
The Video is very informative and we are really enlightened to know the people behind EvalPartners through this video.
This is also a document to preserve for us and for our successors as well.

Thanks are due to Tessie and Pablo.
