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 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.

as a gender head I got an input to my work I want to share your exprience of empowering women in your orgnization
Justina Tembo
how are you doing it to empower women as am working for an umbrella org. of women groups in zambia
DR. Abosede Adebiyi
Is gender synonymous to women? Gender in its true definition is not the same as sex classification, but rather the psychological disposition leading to masculinity and feminism.
Rahel Teka
you are right gender is the role of both women and men but the gap or the problem occur on women because men are the primary decision makers in the vast majority of governing bodies, companies and communities throughout the world.
DR. Abosede Adebiyi
Then we may need not equate gender to sex-type. We now need to have a deep look at the over bearing nature of man over woman.
