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.

- I am a consummate GENDER, GBV AND CONFLICT PREVENTION SPECIALIST WITH OVER 10 years of experience in prevention and response to Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in 20 countries across Pacific, South-East Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Survivors and stakeholders depend on me to deliver expert and practical implementation strategies on mitigating GBV in developmental and humanitarian contexts. A significant aspect of my work has entailed supporting and complementing existing structures on national, regional and global levels, specifically: social norms and behaviour change, technical support, gender and GBV mainstreaming, case management, capacity building, coordination, institutional strengthening, and financial management. I have managed projects under BMZ, DFiD, ECHO, EU, MSF, OXFAM and UNFPA. This experience paired with my strong communication skills has been critical in advocating for access to health care and social services interventions for survivors, developing one-stop centers, contributing to relevant tools, guidelines, policies and bills affecting GBV and CSO shadow reporting on CEDAW. I speak English (C2), Swahili (B1), Spanish (A2) and French (A2). I am flexible and can work independently as well in teams and exceed expectations given the limited availability of my leader.
