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 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.

Event Description

Facilitating Gender Transformative Evaluations (FGTE) is a self-paced, module based online course pioneered in India/South Asia by ISST in 2018. Since then 140 participants have successfully completed this course over six iterations. The 6th iteration has just begun with 40 participants from 17th May 2023.  All the six iterations were designed for development professionals who were at entry level or in the early stages of their professional careers and yet we received a significant number of applications from people with 10+ years of experience over the last few years. IT is in response to this clear demand emerging form the field that ISST decided to develop a new course that would cater to the needs of professionals with some experience of working in the field of evaluation or in the field on gender but desire capacity building in Gender Transformative Evaluations.

 

The objectives of this course are:

  • To sharpen the gender transformative lens to development
  • To enhance gender transformative evaluation knowledge and skills
  • To strengthen implementation of gender transformative evaluations.

 

We are looking at a mixed bag of audience from South Asia who could be decision makers on evaluation, commissioners of evaluation, senior program managers, doers /Technical Persons/ those who actually do evaluations, evaluators, programme Managers, MEL/Senior Monitoring Officers/Knowledge Management Team, Gender Leads in organizations, senior training and capacity building manager. Such a mix of participants also allows for peer learning which is built into the methodology of the course design.

Open to participants from South Asia.

Kindly indicate the course schedule and format.

Are there any live online meetings or assignments with deadlines?

Is there peer interaction and group work or is it an individual self-run online course?

Need more clarity and details.
