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.

Gender and Theory of Change. Women victims of trafficking


It is a pleasure to greet you.

I write because I am doing an evaluation through the Theory of Change. I would like to know if you have references of evaluations through this paradigm.

The program that I am evaluating is about the persecution of persons from Africa to Europe motivated by gender reasons (mainly women and LGBTI collective) and international protection. I would like to find evaluations related to this subject, and evaluations about projects regarding women victims of trafficking for purposes of sexual exploitation.


Thank you very much in advance and warm regards,

Irene García Palud.

Dear Irene,

Rituu alarmed me to your query here (on Pelican), which made me join this forum. I do not have concrete trafficking examples for you, but more general knowledge on how to include gender in Theories of Change.

Hivos, in collaboration with others, published a nice article on how to integrate gender in the Theories of Change. You can find it, in English and Spanish, on the Wageningen Centre for Development Innovation webportal on ToC:  http://www.theoryofchange.nl/resource/question-5-how-integrate-gend... . Next to the article, which is a summary of an e-discussion, several examples are given that show how gender is integrated.

For an overall overview/ guidelines/ stepwise approach on how to work with ToC , in English and Arabic, I’d like to refer you to  http://www.theoryofchange.nl/resource/theory-change-thinking-practi... .

Good luck and kind regards,
Anja Wolsky
