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.

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.

Thank you for these questions & answers from the peers viewed in the video on women's equality.
I can share the same, and continue to address gender equality whereever there is an urge to do so. That also means that sometimes, empowerment is lively and active, be it for gender-transformative change in the field of agriculture, agropreneurship or business as micro as it may be. Wishing you well for a good continuation of equality to sustain. Thanks a lot, Susanne

Thanks for sharing.

I dream of a world when we do not need to allocate a day to celebrate women.

I dream of a world where everyone is valued.
