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.

EvalPartners received a grant from the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor of the United States Department for State for 2018-2019. The grant helps EvalPartners continue its global commitment to proactively support Voluntary Organizations for Professional Evaluation (VOPEs) and cover a new round of Peer to Peer (P2P) grants and Innovation Challenge partnerships, in addition to development of e-learning modules and VOPE toolkit sections on strengthening the role of VOPEs.

This year the Peer-to-Peer Grants Program will advance the Global Evaluation Agenda 2016-2020 with the theme of "Strengthening the Role of VOPEs in Democratizing Learning and Evaluation: Democracy, Human Rights and Governance as a Showcase". 

EvalPartners invites VOPEs to apply for P2P grants for implementation of partnership projects. The idea is to encourage two or more VOPEs to form mutually beneficial partnerships with each other to promote shared advice and learning. The deadline for proposal submission is March 5, 2018 midnight GMT.

Dear colleagues, deadline is fast approaching, and we hope there will be submissions from VOPEs to which many of you are members. This is a great opportunity to learn from each other, develop knowledge products on relevant topics, and engage with colleagues across the world.
