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 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.

Hi Murtaza,

I am from Indonesia, and certainly not a native speaker but have been working for international organisations, both bilateral and multi-lateral development partners, in Indonesia since 1999. I  would be more than happy to offer my little help for free as long as the time table suits mine. Should you feel comfortable with this offer, please send me your work in MsWord format by email to my yahoo account at y_immajati@yahoo.com. I may be able to work on it whilst waiting for my new contract to arrive. 

Thanking Rituu for sharing this around to us through email so that it come to our attention. 

With kind regards,

Yulia Immajati (Imma)
