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.

Evaluating progress toward the SDGs : We need your views on how to include gender
Evaluating progress towards the SDGs will require an assessment of whether that progress is equitable, relevant and sustainable. Furthermore, if development is to be inclusive and leave no one behind, human rights principles and standards should also be considered. Is the field of evaluation ready to deal with this paradigm shift? Are evaluations aligned with the founding principles that development should be equitable, relevant and sustainable? Are evaluators sufficiently equipped to address the broader set of issues? Are the current OECD/DAC evaluation criteria capable of addressing the complexity of the SDGs and how they are achieved? Should evaluators add human rights to their set of baseline criteria? In short, what should the world of evaluation do differently in the era of the SDGs?
IDEV, Independent Evaluation of the African Development Bank, issues a Quarterly Knowledge Publication, "Evaluation Matters". We are currently accepting submissions for the 3rd quarter2017 edition of eVALUAtion Matters, which will focus on “Evaluation in the era of the SDGs. ”
We will be happy to receive your contributions to the magazine, in English or in French. Full editorial guidelines are in the attachment.
