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.

Conducting a gender sensitive participatory implementation strategy for green infrastructure development in public spaces

Hello,

I am currently working on a project that will involve developing a gender sensitive and participatory implementation strategy for green infrastructure development in an urban area in the Middle East. The main objective of this project is to engage local authorities and communities (particularly women and vulnerable segments of the population) in the whole process, and for them to be involved in the development of the gender sensitive and participatory implementation strategy, which would then be used when replicating the project in other areas. 

I was wondering if anyone has tips and/or suggestions on relevant literature that might be useful for me as i develop an approach and methodology for this assignment. 

Many thanks,

Hana

Hello Hana, I am David Gabriel from Kenya.

Though I may not be able to make much contribution, I must say that yours is a very interesting and important topic/project and I would really love to follow it through with you and possibly get to know about your experiences and conclusions once you finish the project. This will greatly inform and help in my gender related work.

Many thanks in adavance.

Sincerely,

Hi Hana,
