F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

It relates strongly to the evaluation of public policies and gender equality by parliaments, as it is about Gender responsive budgeting.

Gender and equity in Outcome Mapping

Dear all,

There is growing interest in addressing persistent and structural gender and social inequities in development and humanitarian programmes. Outcome Mapping is considered by some to be a particularly useful approach for planning and monitoring such efforts, yet there have been few examples or adaptations of OM for this purpose shared.

The Outcome Mapping Learning Community is hosting an e-discussion in July to bring to light experiences of community members of using OM in programmes addressing gender and social inequities.

To this end we invite you to answer two questions to indicate your interest in this e-discussion and let us know that you have experience to share. The form will be open until June 30th.

Kind regards,

I worked as a mentor and coach in gender responsive outcome mapping for DFID funded organisations here in Dar Es Salaam. This exercise was designed as a 2 year coaching and mentoring assignment for 6 organisations (Help Age, Equality for Growth, Norwegian Church Aid, HakiKazi Catalyst, Oxfam Tanzania, and Cafe Africa). Outcome Mapping was the framework on which the gender mainstreaming was approached. It was interesting and challenging in ways. Mainly because most of the clients were still trying to grasp what outcome mapping is all about, as well as getting to grips with what are the quick and easy aspects of gender mainstreaming to catch into.

But we all know, gender mainstreaming is a longer term process, which demands bundles of commitment from all engaged. So the exercise was indeed testing and interesting.

I would like to share more experiences from this engagement on any day.

Thanks Edward. Your experience is valuable. Would you like to share one story/experience from the project so that we can learn and apply in our work? Warm greetings!
