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.

Gender/equity sensitive indicators

Dear All

I am enclosing a recent powerpoint that I to facilitate a half day session on gender/equity sensitive indicators with a group of NGOs from Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu indicators.ppt. 

Often NGOs, government and at times even evaluation teams get stuck at monitoring process or output indicators, and do not adequately evaluate outcome and impact indicators. The challenge remains  to identify appropriate outcome and impact indicators which are not only gender sensitive but also sensitive to other aspects of diversity. 

Would love to hear your views, as well as experienced in experiences in getting government & government commissioned evaluations to move towards gender/diversity and outcome & impact indicators

Dear Susmita

Nice to get words of encouragement

The last slide - I normally give it as handout (translate where necessary) to groups and ask them to identify which kind of indicator each one is- input, process, output, process or impact

Do use it, adapt it and let me know me know how it went

Thanks for sharing Ranjani, very useful, especially the slide where you list different types of indicators along a project/evaluation process.

Dear Maggie 

Thanks so much for your comments. I use the last slide in small groups and ask them to identify whether the five gender-sensitive indicators are input, process, output, outcome or impact indicators.  It think for participants who are experienced this exercise could be tweeked a bit to clarify the concept of five kind of indicators as well as gender blind to gender transformative indicators. I will add an explanatory slide!. Thanks again. Ranjani

Thank you Ranjani, very good presentation to get people on the right track! Especially the differentiation in types of indicators [slide 4] is very helpful. I think it would be nice to continue that same differentiation in criteria for indicators [slide 5 and 6]. Because number of applicants might not be a good outcome indicator but it might be a good process indicator. I like how you included inequalities within the gender domain [slide 7]. I am very curious how you explained slide 8 [from gender blind to gender transformative], I find this always a challenging part. Especially so if the person doing the monitoring and evaluation is not that gender-sensitive. And ofcourse I am even more curious to what exercise belonged with slide 9! Did they have to judge the examples? Hope to hear more from you, thanks again for sharing, Greets, Maggie
