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 Nuha, although they aren't education specific, the Washington Group Questionsare currently considered best practice to use to identify PWDs in surveys, especially in low-income settings. (http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/washington_group/wg_questions.htm). In addition, this UNICEF article looks at data collection instruments around disability for children.

Thank you very much for the efforts of gathering information on PLWD (people living with disabilities). I was once involved in a national survey in Zimbabwe that had a Disability Module, when structuring the questionnaire, there is need to look at the type of disability, and the words surrounding disability (Impairment, Disability, Handicap), age when a PLWD starts school, highest level of education attained etc,,national health definitions on disability for instance one who uses spectacles to read may be grouped as disabled,,
Thank you

Hi Nuha,
I was involved in a survey on disabilities in Lebanon, from my experience the following issues are important:
1. Different disabilities have different needs and accordingly strategies are different
2. Based on the culture of the region access to education is different for boys and girls
3. Existing support system within the homes
4 roles and responsibilities within the homes of boys and girls
5. Violence if any within the homes and its impact n people with disability
6. Violence in schools against people with disabilities
7. Challenges to access to education ...immediate and long term
8. Availability of counsellors in schools for parents and students
