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.

Hi, Fatou, from Mike Hendricks. I am currently the representative from the American Evaluation Association (AEA) to both the IOCE and to EvalPartners, and I want to thank you for your very informative posting about Seneval. Also, please don't be shy about writing in English. It is very clear what are you saying, and believe me, your English is much, much better than my French!

I also want to congratulate Seneval on your impressive growth. To be only 2 years old and to have 450 members -- wow! That tells me that you and your colleagues are doing a wonderful job. Good for you.

Forgive me if you have seen this document before, but AEA has developed a short (only 10 pages of text) document titled "An Evaluation Roadmap for a More Effective Government". It has been very influential within the federal government in the USA, and it describes how evaluation should work at the federal level. Perhaps there is nothing in this document that is relevant for your situation, but since you say that Seneval is promoting evaluation at the national level, I will let you decide if there is anything useful here. You can download the document at http://files.eval.org/download/231.472?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJBU23EXMI...

Thank you again for your excellent posting, and good luck as you move forward.

Best,        Mike Hendricks

Great, wonderful Ndéye Fatou, your english is fine...merci beaucoup. As Rituu said, I also encourage more french speakers to write in french from time to time, so that they can deliver the message very clearly, and our non-french speakers can always use google to translate. I am also a member of the SenEval, altough I leave in Mauritania (and also member of the national evaluation association here called AMSE), but I participate to their activities often. SenEval has great potential, and I hope we will be able to develop most of it, in particular in the EvalYear.
