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.

Evaluation included in SDG Outcome document
Dear colleagues,
(for additional info click http://www.unevaluation.org/mediacenter/newscenter/newsdetail/113 )
The outcome document of the United Nations Summit for the adoption of the post-2015 development agenda, "Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development", is now available. It was agreed to by consensus by Member States on Sunday, 2 August 2015. The United Nations summit for the adoption of the post-2015 development agenda will be held from 25 to 27 September 2015, where world leaders will gather at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City to renew their commitment to development and adopt the new development agenda.
In 2015, the global evaluation community celebrates the International Year of Evaluation to advocate and promote evaluation and evidence-based policy making at international, regional, national and local levels. For the international evaluation community, what is particulay exciting is that "evaluation" was integrated in this new Agenda, in the "follow-up and review" section. It indicates that the follow-up and review processes of implementation of the post-2015 Development Agenda will be informed by country-led evaluations and data (paragraph 74G). It also calls for strengthening national evaluation capacity (paragraph 74H).
We are proud to say that UNEG, with support from our partners, played a critical role in advocating on the importance of evaluation during the intergovernmental negotiations. This is another important milestone for UNEG and the international evaluation community, following the stand-alone United Nations General Assembly Resolution, "Capacity building for the evaluation of development activities at the country level", which was adopted in December 2014 (click for more information).
This is an important period for all of us. Let us continue to join hands to promote evaluation for better development results.
Best regards
Marco Segone Director, Independent Evaluation Office, UNWomen Chair, United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG) Co-chair, EvalPartners 220 East 42nd street (between 2nd and 3rdAvenue), Room 2164 (21st floor) – 10017 New York, USA E-mail: marco.segone@unwomen.org
