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.

التقييم طويل الأمد

الأعزاء جميعا

أرغب بطرح سؤال هام للمناقشة، يعبر عن تحدي واقعي في مجال التقييم، وغرضه تبادل الخبرات والمعرفة وتباحث الحلول وتطويرها.

السؤال: كيف لنا أن نجري تقييم للأثر المجتمعي (ٍSocial impact) لأي تدخل إنساني تنموي في مناطق النزاع التي فيها المتغيرات مستمرة وكبيرة من حيث النزوح والتغييرات الديموغرافية؟؟ وهو أحد التحديات التي يصعب فيها عملية القياس؟؟

Hi Mamoun, Greetings! Sorry I don't know Arabic. I used google translate. Please confirm if I have the right question. Please confirm. then we can post it in the remaining community

Question: How do we conduct a social impact assessment of any humanitarian development intervention in conflict zones where the variables are ongoing and significant in terms of displacement and demographic changes? It is one of the challenges that are difficult to measure ??

Hi Rituu, yes this is his question. especially that changes in conflict areas are quick, so social impact can be measured

Yes, we work in an unstable area. we cannot measure the impact on the long term. So, What do you think the best practice of evaluation measurement in this situation?

Hi Mamoun,

If there is a system in place to measure some key indicators especially for health and other social services then a time series analysis may be the best option to measure outcomes.

مرحبا مأمون
شكرا للسؤال المهم. ربما للمساعدة بالإجابة على هذا السؤال، قد يكون مهما ان نسمع آراء الزملاء ممن عملوا في المشاريع الإنسانية كمشاريع اللاجئين. كيف يمكن لهذه المشاريع أن تقيس اثر مشاريع عاده لاتزيد في مددتها عن ال٦ أشهر. هذا قد يساعدنا في الاجابة على جزء من سؤالك.
مع الشكر
حياة
