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.

An analysis of the “soft life” conversation as it emerges on social media, unpacking how aspirations for ease and rest intersect with broader socio-economic structures, gendered labour expectations, and notions of dignity and justice
Tara Prasad Gnyawali Article - 2025
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.

MPHIL DEVELOPMENT PRACTICE; AMBEDKAR UNIVERSITY, DELHI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYqj3yLDisE
The MPhil Programme in Development Practice at Ambedkar University, Delhi has been started in collaboration with a developmental sector organisation called PRADAN. It is an innovative experiment where a University and a development sector agent have come together to join hands and re-think the regular structure of 'development' courses and 'discourses' imparted through rural management, development studies, social work etc. The idea here is to get to understand the 'rural' in the real and deep sense, where the students stay in the households of villages, articulate a self-hood within and for the 'margins' and 'excluded', in ways where it is encouraged to be a thought-through process, through taught academic courses and a regular, intensive and consistent field 'immersion' for 11 months. Where a development practitioner not only lives in the 'rural' but also feels and thinks for the 'rural' in all its dimensions, whether it be caste, gender, livelihood, land, identity etc.
The forum can hereby generate insights on the working of this collaboration, what can this collaboration bring forth with it, as challenging; with one agent who has 'worked' for 30 years in the 'village' and another partner deemed for imparting academic and theoretical excellence, coming up with 'different and newer' spaces and ideas for social sciences. How does one deal or define the theory and practice question? What would then be an 'evaluative' framework here?
Attached is also a small video clip about the programme where the students recently back from the field narrate their experiences. This blog is also to generate awareness about the programme and also take in feedback, comments, questions towards this collaboration.
Warmly
