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 Ranjani- thank you for this suggestion- it is a good idea which ISST will consider- we can possibly tie this in with a policy seminar that we are planning for March/April 2015. On another note though, as far as I am aware, the IOE is no longer functional, so it will have to be with the involvement of other government officials.

I would like to suggest a discussion in India in 2015 on "Learning from, and strengthening of, government managed evaluations from a gender and equity lens". I am wondering if this could be a joint event of ISST (which manages engendering project through evaluation), Independent Office of Evaluation, and UN Women. If ISST could mull over this it would nice

I would like to suggest the formal creation of a programme of traineeships. Any vacancies for evaluators requires multiple years of experience, and it is very hard to get that experience if you have not gone through the formal credential procedures which are very expensive and again require experience. SO, as an emerging evaluator i am finding myself in a bit of a vicious circle where it is difficult to apply all the valuable things I have learned from the M and courses E and BetterEvaluation. I would love to contribute to the creation of such a traineeship system, where experienced evaluators in different fields accompany or supervise emergent evaluators.
Thank you.
