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.

Dear Mark
Yes I agree that one of the key message- not on the slide- is to assess whether and how institutions and norms have changed in favour of women and oppressed groups, and not so much what program does.
I have added a slide to my the ppt complete. Would be grateful to have your email to send it to you
You have a sharp eye and brain!!!
Warmth
Ranjani

I attended this talk and was both impressed and motivated to apply some of these methods in my own work. One of my favorite messages from the presentation that isn't listed on the slides was the notion that if we are interested in seeing changes to systems and root causes, we should focus more on evaluating how programs have impacted systems, and where more effort is needed, rather than focusing so much on the details of what the program does. Programs will continue adapting to what is necessary for the context, but can only do so effectively if we keep evaluating the context.
