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.

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.

Que retenir du forum Global de l'Évaluation

Le troisième forum global sur l'évaluation s'est tenu du 25-28 Avril 2017 au Kirghizstan dans la magnifique ville de Bischkek sous le thème «Transformer notre monde à travers l'évaluation: l'engagement et le partenariat pour un monde meilleur ». La coordination de EvalGender+ a participé activement à faire le bilan des 2 ans (depuis le Népal) et à se projeter sur le futur à travers les perspectives d'ici à 2020.

Des bilans, il faut noter des avancées significatives dans la promotion des évaluations axées sur l'équité et le genre ainsi que le dynamisme des membres. Avec le soutien de UN WOMEN, EvalGender+ a pu faire participer activement des parlementaires, des décideurs politiques et des praticiens de l'évaluation à des activités de renforcement des capacités mais aussi de plaidoyer pour une institutionnalisation de l'évaluation dans les 10 pays bénéficiaires.

Les membres de la coordination sont toutefois conscients des défis à relever. Ainsi, pour les prochaines années (d'ici à 2020), il convient de mettre l'accent sur les trois axes suivants:

1- La création d'un environnement favorable à l'évaluation

2- Le renforcement des capacités institutionnelles/organisationnelles en matière d'évaluation axée sur l'équité et le genre

3- Le renforcement des capacités individuelles sur ces types d'évaluations.

Merci bien Monsieur LOYE pour ce point. J'aimerais si possible que vous partagez avec nous des ressources en français sur l'intégration du genre dans l'évaluation. Merci et bonne suite
