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 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.

Exploring a "made-in-Canada"evaluation framework to assess male engagement programming

Dear all,

It’s with great enthusiasm I’m sharing White Ribbon Canada and the national community of practice partners new resource entitled ‘Preventing violence against women and girls through male engagement: Exploring a national evaluation framework’. Link to framework here: http://whiteribbon.ca/pdfs/NEF_CoP.pdf

The evaluation framework will provide guidance for organizations seeking to clarify intended impacts and outcomes resulting from gender-based violence prevention programming. It offers sample indicators across four levels of change and eight outcome areas, which can inform male engagement programming to respond and prevent violence against women and girls.

I will also be presenting the national evaluation framework on a webinar on January 21st, 2016. Please see link to register. http://www.vawlearningnetwork.ca/exploring-national-evaluation-fram...

I welcome any feedback you have on the document, and please don't hesitate to contact me for any questions. Email: kbojin@whiteribbon.ca 

Warmly,

Kate

This great! Please make reference to EMAP approach by IRC and implemented by CARE and DRC in Dadaab Refugee Camp, Kenya. I was recently engaged to evaluate a similar program implemented by the DRC in Dadaab. Fantastic and heart rending experience including the learnings and adaptations. Looking forward to the upcoming webinar by White Ribbon Canada. Keep up the great work
