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.

An analysis of the “soft life” conversation as it emerges on social media, unpacking how aspirations for ease and rest intersect with broader socio-economic structures, gendered labour expectations, and notions of dignity and justice
Tara Prasad Gnyawali Article - 2025
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 of a behaviour change approach
The attached Abridged HealthRise project report summarizes the main results of the recent evaluation of the SALT-CLCP interventions for Non-Communicable Diseases (Diabetes & Hypertension) carried out in Udaipur and Shimla (India).
210325-HealthRise%20RICPHI%204-pager.pdf
We are particularly happy to share that report with all Constellation friends and beyond, as it highlights the significant changes inducted by the SALT on behaviours of individuals and communities related to medications compliance and dietary and physical habits. It also shows a strong association between the application of the SALT-CLCP methodology and improved metabolic control of Diabetes and Hypertension.
In spite of the reduced length of interventions (6 months) and the diffcult working conditions of the facilitators – Covid-19 lockdown during the last 4 months – such significant impact for patients confirms the importance of creating ownership of the issues among patients and facilitators (Outreach Workers and ASHA in that case) as agents of change. It also confirms the power of the SALT linked with the first steps of the CLC Process.
That operational research evaluation was performed by the Ramaiah International Centre for Public Health Innovations (RICPHI), in collaboration with MAMTA – Health Institute for Mother and Child, the Catholic Health Association of India (CHAI) and The Constellation. The work was done in the framework of the HealthRise India Transition Grant supported by the Medtronic Foundation.
Dr. Luc Barriere-Constantin, Chair of the Board of the Constellation
