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.

UN Women Rapid Assessment Tool to Evaluation Gender Equality & Women’s Empowerment Results in Humanitarian Context
I am very happy to share with you the UN Women Rapid Assessment Tool to Evaluation Gender Equality and Wo... now available on UN Women’s website.
This is a rapid tool that can help M&E officers assess in a quick way the degree of gender-responsiveness of an intervention in humanitarian contexts.
The Independent Evaluation Service, part of the Independent Evaluation and Audit Service of UN Women, has developed a new rapid tool to assess progress on achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment in humanitarian contexts.
This rapid assessment tool focuses on three domains: leadership and participation, protection and safety, and economic well-being. It complements existing gender tools by including these dimensions as well as providing an evaluative lens for the assessment of gender equality results. This is significant as evaluations of humanitarian responses have not always systematically assessed the results of interventions in terms of gender equality and women’s empowerment.
This tool could be used in conjunction with the IASC Gender with Age Marker (GAM) as it offers an objective assessment based on multiple sources and validation. Its added value lies in its capability to measure economic well-being and leadership and participation aspects of humanitarian interventions, not as part of the intended outcomes but as a result of the programme design and process.
The tool (MS Excel) consists of a dashboard and questionnaire together with a guidance note that allows monitoring and evaluation officers to quickly assess whether an intervention is gender-negative, gender-blind, gender-sensitive, gender-responsive, or gender-transformative.
