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.

Troisième Forum Global d'Evaluation d'EvalPartners

En septembre 2015, les dirigeants mondiaux ont pris un engagement extraordinaire envers un programme visionnaire pour transformer le monde d'ici à 2030: un programme très ambitieux qui englobe les peuples, la planète et la prospérité dans un esprit de paix et de partenariat. Les engagements sont énoncés dans la résolution des Nations Unies intitulée « Transformer notre monde: l'Agenda 2030 pour le développement durable », qui énumère également les 17 objectifs de développement durable (ODD) destinés à guider l'action vers un monde meilleur pour tous. EvalPartners, le Partenariat mondial pour l'évaluation du développement des capacités en collaboration avec l'Organisation internationale de Coopération en Évaluation (OICE) et le Groupe d'évaluation des Nations Unies (UNEG) organisent le 3e Forum mondial de l'évaluation qui aura lieu du 24-27 Avril 2017. Le thème du 3e Forum mondial est « Transformer notre monde à travers l'évaluation: l'engagement et le partenariat pour un monde meilleur ». EvalPartners et ses réseaux se livrent activement à opérationnaliser l'Agenda mondial de l'évaluation 2016-2020 en lien avec l'Agenda 2030 des ODD.
