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.

Hi Rituu,

Many thanks for the suggestion. About your question: my main interest is in finding something that would help me to learn from the monitoring of relationship building work. I have the fundamental (basic?) question of: what makes relationships 'strong' and what type of indicators (and even more broadly what M&E methodologies) would help us understand whether a relationship is strong or not? Is it only on the basis of the frequency of exchanges/joint actions/etc etc? Do these even matter or are they the best indicators to understand whether a relationship is strong? I know context matters so I am not expecting to find the recipe, but I am looking for some ideas, concepts, tools that I can then adapt or take from. Thx

Hi Ranjani, many thanks for the suggestion and sorry for the very very late response, I didn't realize someone had replied. Would you have a couple of 'must-to-read' resources on bonding, linking and bridging to recommend me? Many thanks in advance!
