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.

Although, I can't attend the workshop myself, as I will be based in Delhi and will move to UK on 10th morning, I will love to know about the project. And, would love to see how I can contribute, considering its potential implications. 

Best wishes

So happy to hear of your interest Maheswar!

I will certainly share your interest with Laxmi Laxmiparmeswar and Positive Outcome who is helping the event. Maybe we can work out getting some handouts to you. Thanks so much for your interest. We hope to do more of these workshops. If your school or organization is interested we can look at doing one there.

Kind regards

Cynthia
