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.

Bonjour chers membres,

Une opportunité importante pour la rencontre des membres de EvalGender+ au Forum International Francophone de l'Évaluation qui se déroulera du 13-16 Décembre 2016.

Dès le 13 Décembre 2016, venez partager vos expériences en matière d'évaluations axées sur l'équité et le genre. Venez nous dire comment évaluer les objectifs de développement durable en tenant compte de l'équité et du genre?  Comme vous le savez, plus on partage, plus on s'enrichit. Des membres de EvalGender+, de UN WOMEN et de l'UNICEF faciliteront ces échanges.

Un autre moment très important: Le forum « Évaluations et droits humains». Vous aurez d'éminents évaluateurs dont Marco SEGONE, Président du Groupe des Nations Unies pour l'évaluation et directeur du bureau d'évaluation indépendante de UN WOMEN, co-coordinateur de EvalGender+ qui va présider le panel 2 sur le renforcement des capacités en évaluation et l'utilisation des résultats.

Nous conviendrons d'un moment pour échanger sur les possibles actions de EvalGender+ francophone ainsi que la nomination des points focaux, leurs rôles et responsabilités.

Au plaisir de vous rencontrer à Marrakech.

LOYE Alexis Salvador, Représentant du RFE à EvalGender+
