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.

Final evaluation consultancy of women’s rights programme, in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda
[Re-posting to the discussion section, as advised by the Gender & Evaluation team]
The AWESOME partnership is seeking a consultancy team with members in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda to conduct a final evaluation. This evaluation is a critical learning and accountability opportunity for us to reflect on our five year programme.
AWESOME is an advocacy programme that aims to support women’s movements in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda to be strengthened, less fragmented and more representative of diverse groups of women, including women with disabilities (WWDs). We focus on two themes of sexual and gender based violence (SGBV) and women’s participation and leadership.
We are keen to hear from evaluators about their proposed evaluation methods. We would love to hear from teams that integrate a feminist evaluation lens and use participatory approaches to centre the voices, knowledge and lived/living experiences of diverse women. Intersectionality and inclusion of diverse women is important to us.
The deadline for proposals is 19 January 2025. We hope to begin the evaluation in February 2025.
