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.

An analysis of the “soft life” conversation as it emerges on social media, unpacking how aspirations for ease and rest intersect with broader socio-economic structures, gendered labour expectations, and notions of dignity and justice

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.

What types of new partnerships should we build to promote the use of evaluation among public policymakers?
Greetings! This is a cross-post that I first first posted yesterday on the American Evaluation Association's LinkedIn Discussion Group.
I am looking forward to chairing a panel session on this subject at the annual conference of the American Evaluation Association in Denver this coming October. I hope ths post will generate many comments that I would be able to use to facilitate a highly interactive session at the AEA conference.
The conference theme asks us to “envision evaluation as fundamental to a sustainable, equitable future” and to “unleash the power of evaluation…to impact the world in positive ways.” To unleash that power, we will need to build new partnerships with those who have access to policymakers and understand the nuances of the public policy process. These partnerships will help us better understand policymakers’ information needs and allow us to educate them about the value of evaluation in making informed policy and program decisions that would help create a sustainable and equitable future.
I have invited experts from two organizations that have worked with policymakers for decades: the National Conference of State Legislatures and the Pew Charitable Trust. The audience will also hear from a senior legislator from my state. He is using the work of these and other organizations to improve criminal justice policies in Idaho. The panel members are:
1. Bill Pound, Executive Director, National Conference of State Legislatures
2. Michael Caudell-Feagan, Vice President, Government Performance, The Pew Charitable Trusts
3. Rich Wills, Chair of the House Judiciary, Rules, and Administration Committee, Idaho State Legislature

Thank you.
